Thanksgiving:

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year!
Dad and Mom Grusy came, as well as Grandpa and Grandma Wittler. We were so glad to have them, and it was fun to host our first Thanksgiving with family coming to see us. :-)
Here are pictures from our time together:

Papaw and Emma reading one of the fun books Great Grandma got the kids:
Ethan's fun 3rd b-day gift from Papaw and Grammy:
A scooter and helmet. As we expected, he has been loving the helmet and loves to wear it almost everyday!
This picture is a good representation of our little girl these days... she doesn't want to be left out of anything! She had to have her turn on the scooter with the helmet as well. :-)
Reading with Great Grandma:
Another fun outing at "All About Kids":

Making a foam tower:

"Ready, set, go Ethan!"
Emma found her favorite thing again:
Ethan intently listening to the instructions before we went in the gym:
Good Papaw tickles!
What a child of this generation! :-)
Ethan loving Grammy's I-Pad: It took him no time to figure out how to use it! :-)
More reading :-)
Singing happy b-day to Papaw:
The Thanksgiving Buffet line:
Singing right before dinner:

And the table and decorations:





Mom and Adam did the turkey this year! It turned out very well and was super yummy!
Well done Mom and babe!
Ethan and Great Grandma:
Taking a break from cooking to check out the new sewing machine that Mom and Dad got me for my Christmas present!! I am so excited about all the possibilities of craftiness with this machine!! :-)
Putting the turkey in!!
Emma helping with the mashed potatoes:
Ethan checking out the turkey:
He was too funny on Thanksgiving. He was quite confused as to why we were eating a bird for Thanksgiving... he kept saying, "but it's a bird!" (as if to say, "hey guys, we can't eat that, it's a bird!").
When we asked if he wanted to try some, he said, "no, it's a bird."
Good snuggles:
Feeding Papaw his breakfast :-)
The Turkey Chefs!
Cheese!
Snuggling with Papaw on the couch:

Thanks dad and mom and grandpa and grandma for coming for Thanksgiving this year! We sure enjoyed having you! It was such a wonderful time of hanging out, eating, and talking! We will miss you all at Christmas, but are so thankful for the great time that we had with you for Thanksgiving! We praise the Lord that you are in our lives! We love you!

Can't believe how big Emma is getting! Her hair is so long and pretty!
And, I wish we could have come to Ethan's 3rd bday! You are so creative!! The construction zone w the hard hats was awesome!
