Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!  We are blessed and thankful for so many things.  We are especially thankful for family.

This year we celebrated Thanksgiving with Mary's grandparents.  We are so happy that Great Grandpa VanHeukelum is home from the hospital and recovering well.  Since we didn't have plans this year we brought Thanksgiving dinner to their house.

Justin, the kids and Grandpa and Grandma Van visited while Mary finished preparing dinner (she did most of it at home).  We had a nice meal, ending with pumpkin pie and Dutch apple pie.  Even though he can't eat much yet Grandpa still managed to sample a little of each pie :)

After dinner the kids played more while Mary and Grandma cleaned up.

Then Randy, Gretchen, Nathan, Lynette and AnaIsa stopped by.  We visited with them for quite a while and then headed home.

It was great to see family that we don't get to see very often.  And it was so wonderful to spend time with Great Grandpa and Great Grandma.  The kids love to visit with them and play with their toys.  And it's a joy to us to watch them interact.

What a blessed Thanksgiving.
