Thanksgiving 2010

We went to Rock Valley for Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time with all our family. Here are some highlights in pictures:

We had a great time with the big Van Maanen clan. It was fun that the boys were old enough to play with all the cousins.
Here they are wrestling:
 

 And opening up birthday gifts...

Here are all the "younger" cousins, 15 in the picture...
plus some helpers for the babies.

We also had "Christmas" with my family since my parents would be out of town over December 25th. We had a great time eating and opening gifts. The kids are all getting old enough to "go play" so the adults even got to talk for a while. ;)

I made Jaelyn a tutu and she hasn't taken it off since.

 And I made Will a superhero cape. 
I was kinda proud that he took it to school for show-and-tell.

And our boys made a haul as usual.
Asher was pretty excited about his Star Wars Legos. 
 

On the way home we stopped in Carroll for ice cream.
This is the first time we let them have their own cup 
and I thought we were pretty brave to do that in the van
but they did a good job of "keeping it clean."
