Thanksgiving 2012

We are enjoying a great few days relaxing with family, making memories, and keeping up traditions.  This is the first year in many that we have had Grandpa and Grandma Wolfe back with us from Russia.  Unfortunately, we exchanged them for Eric and Kate's family, and are missing them this year. 

With Grandma back, she had the task of making her famous cheese ball.  Apparently, no one wanted to be short of crackers, because all three families contributed to the heap.  Tradition...

This cutie was such fun...he was the focus of many of my pictures.  :)

The guys had some serious matches of 4-square going on.  This seems to have become a tradition...

We are blessed with bounty, blessed with family.

Ami's little tummy couldn't take much!

Tradition of bagels on Friday morning.  The guys also went out to a movie, another tradition.

The kids entertained us with some of their favorite Tim Hawkins clips.

Johanna and Ami worked to make some cute place cards for our table.

I had to include an outtake along with our best family picture.  Some trying to pose, some oblivious to the camera, some primping...

Lots of coffee and Grandma's cranberry spice tea, tradition...

Lots of card playing, tradition...

Sweet memories made on another Thanksgiving weekend.  We are indeed blessed and have so very much to be thankful for.  We missed you Eric, Kate, Elle, and Zane!
