Happy Thanksgiving!

We had such a nice Thanksgiving weekend in Iowa. We truly have so much to be thankful for in our lives...three beautiful and healthy children, jobs we enjoy, a cozy home and loving and supportive family and friends. We are blessed!

We spent the weekend in Iowa with my family. We headed to Iowa on Wednesday morning after a fun evening catching up with my friends Katie and Trulie. Because her sister was extremely delayed getting into Chicago, Katie rode to Iowa with us.



Our "four kids". ;)

We only get to see each other a few times a year but we always pick right up where we left off.

As soon as we walked in the door at my parents', Luke and Lauren were begging for tractor rides, so of course Papa obliged.



He even found a little bench for princess Lauren to ride on in the back of the wagon. They loved it!

It was great to spend the weekend catching up with my siblings and aunts/uncles/cousins and grandparents. I love the holidays! My Grandma was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, so this time together means even more this year.








Memaw always has some kind of cooking project for Lauren...this time it was turkey cupcakes.



Luke can't get enough of Papa.



Lauren, Molly and Steph had such a good time playing together.

The car ride home was so funny! Lauren loves to sign and dance. Check out these videos.
The first doesn't do it justice...she wouldn't let me video her:

Lauren was having a contest to see who could sing the loudest...I'm pretty sure she won!

Thanks for checking in on us. Enjoy this holiday season!

Until next time-
