THANKSgiving!

Giselle had her first thanksgiving feast and boy can that girl feast. She loved EVERYTHING!

All the sweet kiddos. We had our friend Lori and her 4 fun and great kids join us. My parents came down from Michigan too!

More super cute kids!!

Jacob loved the Vernors grandma brought from Michigan..he couldn't bear the thought of the spilled soda going to waste!

Brett carving his first turkey!! He did a great job. We are so blessed to have so many blessings and privledges in this life. First of all the blessing to choose what where we worship. Without this one freedom all others would fall to the side. With this freedom I was able to marry my true love for all time and eternity and with that union has now come 5 beautiful children. I can't wait to see the amazing blessings that are yet to come..until then I will forever be grateful and THANKFUL for all the ones I have now!

Every time we have a baby that has their first thanksgiving we take a picture of the turkey in front of the baby...hahahaha the turkey was SO big it covered her up..or maybe she is so little!

Now you can see her! chewing on her favorite carrot!

Cafe Fox!

People ask me all the time..How do you do it? I respond with I have some really great friends. It's true I do. I am so blessed to have some great friends in my life. I ask them for help and they are there..armed sometimes with food, sometimes with sponges to clean and sometimes to play with kids. I felt like a thank you note just wasn't going to cut it. I sent an evite and thank goodness they could all come.
We started the meal with Artichoke dip. Then had broccoli and white cheddar cheese soup!
Spinach, apple,craisin, walnut and feta salad with an apple vinaigrette!
Super yummy bread *from wegmans* with make your own sandwich
sunken chocolate cake with ice cream and berries drizzled with hot fudge.
I love my china but I rarely get it out. Too many little hands, but I felt this was a good time as any. Real napkins can make such a difference..and fresh flowers pulls it all together.

I really feel like these ladies brighten my day every time I am with them, so I picked out cute little candles for each of them..thank goodness they all got the kind they liked!

After all of that, they stayed and helped me clean up..not to mention Alex came in the morning and helped me get it all together. How lucky am I...not lucky. Just blessed. Love you Ladies!

Soccer Genna!

Genevieve is in her third season of soccer. She loves it. We have loved going and cheering for her. It is so fun to watch her talent grow. She was just asked to be on an All-Star team. The tournament is in a couple of weeks and then she will be done until the spring. Way to go Genna!
