Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Holy moly, I'm full.  Still.  And I haven't eaten anything in over five hours.  Guess that means I ate my fair share today, huh?

I've been looking forward to today all week!  I love Thanksgiving for many reasons, but let's be honest here....mostly, I love the food.  Seriously.  Sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie...I'm stuffed to the rafters and I couldn't be happier. 

We had a pretty laid back morning at home.  Watched the parade, did some Thanksgiving crafts, made a couple of dishes for the meals...then headed out to my parents' for our first gathering, followed by Justin's aunt and uncle's house for the Koehn meal.  We had a great day just spending time with each other...oh, and eating of course.  Here are a few shots from our day:

The boys' turkey prints.  The plan is to do this every year from here on out...or as long as they'll let me.

And the Indian prints.  Chan's has a fro for some reason...

Chan's turkey footprint with his thankful feathers.  Love that he is thankful for himself :)

This is the one he made for his school project.  I love how it turned it.  Super cute :)

Liam playing at Nana & Baba's...so thankful for this boy and his sweet smile

Chandler playing...thankful for this crazy kid, too.

Pile up!!!  Playing with their cousins

Yay for Thanksgiving!

Was so full at this point I only managed one shot at the second gathering...Chan and sweet friend Mikayla coloring

"Thanksgiving is the holiday of peace, the celebration of work and the simple life...a true folk-festival that speaks the poetry of the turn of the seasons, the beauty of seedtime and harvest, the ripe product of the year---and the deep, deep connection of all these things with God."

Till later this week friends!
