Thanksgiving festivities

After last year where we spent each day of the four-day break at a different house Adam and I knew we had to do something different for Thanksgiving. We decided to go to an every other year approach for visiting our families. We spent this year with my family and will spend next year with his family. It was a great decision. We really missed seeing Adam's side of the family, but we loved, loved, loved being in one home for the whole break. It made it so much easier on Harrison and of course on us.

Thanksgiving was great at my Grandma Carol's house and we got to see my cousins Shelby and Colin. We stayed at my Great Grandma's farm house and had a lot of fun looking through old pictures and playing games after Harrison was in bed. On Saturday we spent the day with my mom's family and also celebrated my Grandma Ruth's 80th Birthday. It really was a blast to have the whole weekend to spend in Eastern Iowa. Looking forward to an entire weekend in Pella for next year.

Here are some photos of all of the guys spending time working off the extra holiday calories. Adam is always great at getting everyone energized to get up and get moving, everyone except me I guess:)
