Thankful for family part I

We had some extra special family time over Thanksgiving weekend as Care, Brody and Clayton were visiting. Here are a few pictures of the fun, noise, love, and generally enjoyable time!

Special snuggles at Auntie Leanne's house
And meeting Auntie Carolyn, giving her some cuddles and reminding her what
baby spit up is like too :P

A promised hockey game had to wait until after dinner - so it was played with a flashlight in the dark :) Sam was thrilled to put his new hockey stick to use...

A formidable goalie pair :)

Sam the Allstar
Meanwhile inside the house, all was warm and toasty...
Snuggles with Opa

A busy table...necklace building, dice throwing, relaxing...Another 'uncle' who just joins in the chaos

"I'm going to sozzle you, Unca Brody!"
Serious snuggles with Gramma
A new stroller for a birthday present - enjoyed by Cara :)
Cuddles with Great-Oma Maljaars
A special play time with Gramps :)Story time with an uncle who isn't around enough :)

Family is truly a blessing and precious gift from God. Hope you enjoyed the pictures...More to come of the other side of the family!
