Oma and Opa arrived the day before Thanksgiving all set to spend two nights with their grandson.
Oma is the best baker we know (we may be just a bit biased) and Cam thoroughly enjoys helping her and learning the process. This year, the consensus was to make mini pies instead of full-size desserts. The choices- strawberry cheesecake or apple pie- and of course, one could choose both. We were happy to have Ms. Ann join us since she is extended family!
Before we enjoyed a delicious meal, each person had to say what they were thankful for. When it was Cam's turn, this patient boy who'd been staring at the delicious array of food, said he was thankful for...bread! When we all laughed, we asked if there was anything else he was thankful for, and he responded with "butter." We all agreed these were very appropriate choices!
On Friday, we happily welcomed 'Auntie Amanda' and her sweet ten-month old daughter, Sally. They arrived in Grand Rapids ready to hang out and have some pro pics taken downtown. The weather was especially cold that day, but the pictures were fun. Watch for next week's post to see our favorites. Amanda and Sally spent the night and truly, we don't think we've ever seen a baby sleep so well and be so content in a new place. Cam loved playing with her and when they had to leave early on Saturday, he kept asking Jane throughout the day, "where's Sally?"
To make up for the loss of a playmate, we took Cam over to Fruitbasket Flowerland to see Santa and a couple of real reindeer! The sun was actually shining and the immense amount of snow we received the week before had all vanished. Cam thought the reindeer were pretty cool, but he was especially excited to see Santa for the first time this year!
We certainly are most thankful for all of you reading this blog!! Hope everyone had a great turkey day!
