Thanksgiving Weekend

Thanksgiving weekend we went to Kalamazoo and had two Thanksgivings...one at David's parents on Thanksgiving and one at Janet's parents on Saturday.

The Great-Grandparents were also able to meet Dylan, over the weekend, for the first time. 

(Great-Grandma V met her too, but we don't have photos because Dylan was sleeping and we didn't wake her for the visit.)

Great Grandma & Grandpa K

Game of Dutch Shuffleboard at Grandma & Grandpa O's, before dinner.  (The game is about 40+ years old...but still fun!)

 

Cousins

The Cook

Cousin Katie

Cousin Jack

This was taken on my phone, and I wish it was more clear, but it is a great picture of all three at Grandma & Grandpa V's house.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Here are a couple things Jamie says she is thankful for.

Dylan is NOT thankful for sponge baths, because she cannot be completely submerged in nice warm water yet...due to a stubborn umbilical cord that hasn't fallen off.  She HATES it!
But...we are very thankful for her!

 

Not really related to Thanksgiving...Dawson needed to do a project this week and make a doll showing what his ancestors would have worn. 
So...this is supposed to be a dutch boy. 
I guess we could say we are thankful for our Dutch ancestors, and thankful that we do not have to wear those uncomfortable wooden shoes.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  Enjoy your weekend!



November Happenings

For some reason we have only a couple pictures from the whole month of November. It must have been a busy month!
Actually it was - there were a lot of kids Thanksgiving programs and field trips that I could post video of, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
For now, here are a few pictures from around Thanksgiving time....

Getting ready to leave for the one of the Thanksgiving feasts.


Hanging out with Lydia at Grandpa and Grandma O's.





This is Jamie's build-a-bear (cat) named Ally. She has joined the other many babies that Jamie drags around constantly and has to sleep with (Naby, Caroline the froggie, and hard baby.)

This is a hot air balloon and landing area that they made for Ally, Naby and Froggie. Why do we even buy toys I ask? Seriously boxes, tape and plastic bags seem to be what they play with, regardless of the expensive toys we have on hand.
