Then we headed down to New Buffalo, to meet my family. The weather was so mild, that we hung out by a bonfire for a while and the kids ran free amidst the bare trees in our woods. The food was exquisite, the company was really fun, and the kids were so good. I couldn't have asked for more. I got to play photographer all weekend too (which I love).
I love my new camera, but I also love these kids that keep ending up on the other side of my lens
Ooh, I actually did get in a photo! I had my niece take it (not bad!)
I made a thanksgiving "tree" and everyone wrote something on it before dinner. Then we read them and guessed who wrote what. It was kind of fun and really sweet to hear what the kids AND adults had to say.
The best thing about us having one place to gather, is that we also get to put on our pj's after dinner, relax and then enjoy the next day together too.
This was our Saturday...
Lots of leftovers, Kerry's homemade minestrone soup to add to the mix too, games, walks, and even the town's rinky dink parade (possibly the smallest and least impressive parade I've ever seen...yet it made the kids happy, so that's all that mattered).
I am so blessed. I say it often, but I really know it and I never want to forget it or take it for granted.

| Playing a very simple yet fun Pirate Lego game that my mom bought for the kids...I highly recommend it! |
We took a walk to the cemetery where my grandma's brother is buried. It's a really peaceful place, and the perfect distance to walk for a 2 year old and a 92 year old. How great is it that we CAN take a walk with her ... 
And these little cutey-pies too, of course.
I am so blessed. I say it often, but I really know it and I never want to forget it or take it for granted.
I AM BLESSED.
THANK YOU
