SO Thankful!

We were fortunate to spend Thanksgiving in MI this year.  Our trips always seems so short so this year we decided to spend a week with Nana and Papa.  Everyone had a great time!  For weeks (maybe months) Nana and Papa will find little reminders of our trip...cheerios, misplaced decorations, hidden dinosaurs...

 

Papa, Zack and Jack went to pick up the turkey and on the way home stopped by the cider mill and checked out the play area and animals.

 

"I think I will let YOU pet them Papa!"

I am so THANKFUL the kids have such loving Aunts and Uncles.

 My sweet precious baby...who by the way will be ONE very soon!!!  I am so THANKFUL for little Fernie and her feisty personality.

 No rest for the weary here!

 A sweet friend let me borrow this cover for our carseat (Fernie has outgrown ours) and mentioned in passing that it might work on the stroller...sure enough!!!

 The boys checking out the ducks at the Detriot zoo.

 

 LOVE this face!  I am so THANKFUL for my sweet and energetic Jack.

 I am so THANKFUL my kids have wonderful grandparents who love them to pieces.

 The weather was very nice so we were able to burn up some energy outside. 

 "Gotcha!"

 Papa, Zack and Jack went to the library to get some books.  I am so THANKFUL my kids enjoy reading. 

 I am so THANKFUL my kids have the most amazing father who loves them more then they will ever know!

 Puppet show with Nana.

 Nana took time out of her busy workday to show Jack pictures of Zack and his siblings when they were little.  Jack loves looking at pictures.  He saw a picture of his aunt Emily when she was a baby and asked if it was his cousin Nomi!

 Oh Fernie!  She enjoyed all the new toys and all the new places to explore.

 Papa had his hands full with these two!

 Jack loves baths at Nana's house.

 While the big kids watched football and Fernie napped, Jack and I headed to the park!

 

 

 We let Jack choose his dessert for thanksgiving and what did he pick?? Carrot cake!  He ate every bit of it! 

I think Fernie wanted some too!

 The little cousins!

 

Jack enjoyed every minute with Nana and Papa.   

 

 What a crew!

These next two pictures are so funny.  Jack has NEVER made this face before and Fernie has just started sticking out her tongue... 

 The kids are so happy with Nana and Papa. 

 We had a wonderful time in MI!  Zack and I even got away for a movie and some shopping - thanks Nana and Papa! 

I am SO THANKFUL for my dear Zack, Jack and Fernie.
