We have had a wonderful week celebrating the meaning of Thanksgiving with our family all over the state of Michigan! We began with a trip last weekend to my grandparents' home in Middleville. The men took time to hunt and watch football while the women enjoyed catching up with one another while taking a walk in the beautiful fall sunshine. Aron and I then took the kids a few miles north to Grand Rapids where we spent a night at a hotel - a favorite for Russell and Sloane. They loved swimming in the hotel pool, staying up late watching movies and coloring, and especially enjoyed the continental breakfast provided the next morning! After a short week at school, we packed up the car once again and headed back to West Michigan. This time to visit Aron's family in Saint Joesph. We lucked out again with weather and took full advantage of the 60+ degree temps. After filling ourselves with the deliciousness of the holiday, we took a family walk along Lake Michigan. We never forget those loved ones not with us, but feel so thankful for the love that surrounds us each day!

| When not indoors crafting, Sloane was outside collecting rocks and decorating Great Grandma and Great Papa's driveway with sidewalk chalk. She was sure to keep cousin Katie engaged with non-stop chatter. |

| We can't wait for June to dive into those waves!!! |

| Russell loved spending time with his older cousin Jake. |
