It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

The good news: We had a fabulous Thanksgiving.
The bad news: The plants did not. We are journaling about it and hopefully will have better luck next time.




We were able to get to Kentucky a day early so that we could play even longer! (While it may look like beads that's actually spaghetti. Silly you.)

A whole lotta baking going on. So happy to see those cutie nieces!!!
Love this deep conversation!
My family has a little bit of a coffee problem. And a BIG fear of running out.
The only time Ava has allowed a bow in her hair in 2011.
My Mom is such a great cook.
Seriously, Pioneer Woman has nothing on my mama.

Mom and Dad waited for the kids to clear out so they could take over the coloring station.
Awesome uncles.
Praying before our meal. (well, we weren't praying yet or obviously our eyes would be closed)

Look at those cute siblings.
With 22 people in one house you sometimes have to just play under the table.

Word to the wise: Scandinavian people should NOT take pictures in the sun.

Mark continued to expand his haircuttery.
Reese knows exactly who the softies are. :)
But look how sweet she is. How could you deny her.



Obviously nobody in our family is a photographer, hence the shadowy sunniness. But still a nice shot of the family of origin.
And check this out-the very FIRST picture we took! Besides Kaiya not smiling and Reese half hidden, everyone is looking and happy! (We missed Max, Sam, and Kevin this year!!!)










Much to be thankful for!!!

Great photos! It is so awesome that your whole family can be together. And your baby bump is sooo cute. What I marvel at is that you never even complain about pregnancy, and you make even the 4th time look soo easy! :)
