Thanksgiving

This year we stayed home for Thanksgiving and celebrated with several other families in our neighborhood. The Bruemers had everyone over to their home for a potluck dinner and everything was delicious! We got to relax with good friends and eat ourselves sick while the kids (about 20 of them) all played together. It was great! A couple of days later Nonny & PopPop came into town and we all headed up to Wisconsin Dells for a little vacation. As usual, we all had so much fun playing at the water parks!

This is how Micah gets himself ready for school ;) He had a shirt, a sword, and some fireman rainboots...what else could he possibly need?!

Sweet sisters!

We had some snow that weekend so Patrick and the kids went out to play, followed by some hot chocolate!

Charlotte didn't want a picture taken so she's hiding.

Micah's class colored these turkeys and put what they were thankful for. Micah said "My baby."
