Happy Thanksgiving!

So we have celebrated Thanksgiving the last two days! Thursday we went to Derick and Vicki's and celebrated with the Hoefer's. As usual the day was full of lots of cousins, laughing, and food. Hailey and Macy love each other to death but see each other only once a year...you would never know it by watching them play though! With soo much family it is hard to keep up on seeing everyone ... we always wish we spent more time together but then the days/months fly by and before you know it another year has passed. We must do better this next year!! In fact Nancy...we are holding you to your idea to bring Macy up here sometime soon!!
If you can believe it this is Avery's cousin. He is 37 and she is 1! The oldest and the youngest cousin! He is the father of four wonderful boys!
This is Noah and Emily...too cute for words!! Two of Audi's great kids!
This is Bella...the miracle baby...born at 24 weeks gestation I think...she is now almost 2 and doing great! Her Mommy...Bree is Avery's cousin so this is her 2nd cousin I guess..

Aunt Nancy provided the kiddo's entertainment...she set up a nail salon...Karis was all over that as was Elijah! (His Dad loved that...) She also had coloring sheets and games and prizes. Thanks Aunt Nancy!!

We came back to E-burg to spend the night. (For us with the 3 girls sleeping at home seems so much easier even though it involved a lot more driving....something about sleeping all night makes me not so into spending the night anywhere else much!) I got up and went to Fred Meyer today and got some half price deals...socks, Princess sheets, and games! Then we headed to Yakima to hang out with my family.

The girls all screamed with joy when they saw Uncle Mike (he says that is a common reaction when he walks in a roomful of girls.)
And Auntie Hannah prepared felt crafts....we had so much fun!!! We crafted all kinds of ornaments! Thanks Hannah and Jen and her sisters for help with this!



Sadie, Ella, and Hailey having lots of fun. We also got to see Auntie Rach which is always a thrill for the girlies!

Here are our ornaments. Well if anyone is still reading this very long post you can see we had a wonderful Thanksgiving and we are so thankful for our wonderful families!!! Thank you Jesus for your many, many blessings!!

I'm glad you took pictures of the oraments that I made! It was fun to be all together yesterday, even though we had more fun with the crafts than the girls did.
