Happy Thanksgiving!

This year it seemed to come and go so quickly! I am very grateful for our eternal families, memories, the house we live in, the cars we drive, the jobs we have, the gospel and my testimony... I could go on and on. This is a wonderful holiday, and a nice reminder to be grateful. Every evening this month we took a moment to write something we were grateful for on a slip of paper. My box was smaller than it should have been for 4 people to do that, but hey!, I tried. It was fun to hear what Seoul was thankful for as she drew her pictures. Plus she told us what Sydney was thankful for every day.

Evan and Dana did a fantastic job hosting - love them! The was delicious food, a lot of laughter, great family memories, and don't forget the food coma naps after dinner. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Daddy and Seoul making goodies for the Thanksgiving feast.

Sydney entertaining herself with a Thanksgiving activity.
Grandpa, Sydney, and Uncle David - waving hello.
Hilarious! They were yelling at each other (in a good way).
Oh the funny expressions we make for babies... and Sydney wasn't even appreciative of it. Ha!
Silly cousin times!
Silly times with Uncle David (he is always tickling as you can see by her exposed belly)!
Dana's Aunt Marsha enjoying some baby time.

Grandpa napping before dinner - funny!
Sydney and Aunt Ashley chilling together.
Crazy Uncle Evan!
Great picture of Grandpa and Seoul! She loves him!
Very serious... whatever they're discussing.
Beautiful table settings.
Enjoying those beautiful table settings with some delicious food on the plates.
Sydney got her own squished up version of the meal and devoured it. (Thanks Uncle Evan for feeding her so I could eat my dinner!)
One of the many naps, although she wasn't really sleeping at this very moment as you can tell by small smile.
Touchdown! Watching some Thanksgiving day football.
Half napping, half watching some football.
They love each other and they're so beautiful!
Mindee... full from some good eats.
Relaxing after dinner. My quirky dad always poses when he sees the camera.
Amanda dancing around with Sydney.
Sydney and Grandpa checking each other out. Hm.
Is there more food in Uncle Evan's mouth??
Two words: FOOD COMA
Chilling with cousin Trevin. Good times.
Beautiful ladies. Hopefully Seoul and Sydney will love me as much Ella loves her mom at that age.

Love all these kids! This is one of the best benefits of moving to Canby - the cousins get to know each other and be silly together!




Family picture #1 - can't get two girls to look at the camera at the same time, let alone get Seoul to make a pretty smiley face.
Family picture #2 - Silly faces! Again, Sydney doesn't look at the camera.


Family picture #3 - oh Sydney. I love us!
