Thanksgiving

Here is a recap of our Thanksgiving celebrations!

Thanksgiving Day was spent at my parent's house as they host both sides of their families. This year there were 28 people - down a little from previous years... Here are a few pictures of the afternoon.

Some of my cousins & Nick & Micah playing Apples to Apples.

The ladies sitting around the table, chatting, of course!

The men with their feet up in the living room!

Great-grandma Fynaardt giving Becca more Bugles! (She actually had way to many and that night when she went to bed she got so worked up that she threw them up and then fell asleep in it - not a pleasant thing!)

Friday morning was not spent shopping. Instead we assembled my sister's wedding invitations! Here is a picture of her and her fiance working on them.

Friday night we gathered with the De Haan side of the family at one of Nick's cousin's home. For many, many years there were no children at these gathering (Nick and his sister Tricia are the youngest cousins and all the other are much older than them.) However in the last several years the cousins have started to have children and now there are several toddlers and babies again. This year there were 10 children ages 4 and under. It was a great time! We let the kids eat before the adults and we couldn't stop taking pictures! Here are several of the kiddos eating their supper of chicken nuggets, little smokies & pretzels!

I hope that you had a blessed Thanksgiving! We are already working on our Christmas decorations and hopefully I will be able to post some pictures of that in the coming days.
