Thankful

This year for Thanksgiving, we had the big dinner at our house! We were SO excited! My whole family came (minus Nate/Angie and girls, who we missed terribly) and we had Trev's sister and her family too. I was a little worried with fitting everyone, but I think it all turned out really well! The food was absolutely amazing, and can't remember having a tastier Thanksgiving! Those Canadians sure know how to cook!

Here's a shot down the table. I wasn't really good about taking a lot of pictures before/while people ate because I was so hungry and there was so much good food! Plus I had kids to attend to.

Here's the girlys getting ready to eat. They all were so patient and didn't even mind eating up at the bar. In fact, Chrissy and Vicky made name tags for everyone at the bar so they'd feel special!

This is me with my beautiful girl before the big dinner. She is growing up so fast and is still such a sweetheart. I'm waiting for Jace to start rubbing off on her :o).

Here's is Jace enjoying his dinner. You can tell he's storing some food in his cheeks like a chipmunk!

Brooklyn tries to use spoons, but hasn't quite figured it out. It's more effective when she shovels it in with her hands!

Ry and Ky got along so well with Vicky and Chrissy! It was so nice, they played downstairs for hours after dinner playing "British Tag" and other games I'd never heard of. Here they are decorating a gingerbread house. They were so good to take turns.

Here's the finished product. Jace woke up from his nap just in time to ruin his dinner by eating candy off the house.

Here's the adorable Brooklyn chowing down on some raisins. (I can't complain. It's certainly better than the candy Jace was eating!)

In a time where so many are suffering we have much to be thankful for. I am so happy for this time of year when we can reflect on all that we have, and in return, give to others. Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!
