Thanksgiving!

Well, I am finally posting our pictures from Thanksgiving! We got together with all of the Ziniker family this year to celebrate grandpa's 80th Birthday and to spend the Thanksgiving weekend together! It was a family reunion of sorts which made it an extra special Thanksgiving!


Grandma and the girls had to figure out how to seat 50 people! I didn't get any pictures of the actual food, people sitting down etc... too busy eating and trying to feed my kids I guess!


After our Thanksgiving meal everyone headed outside for a family picture... It was cold!


Thanks to Kyla for organizing and taking these pictures!


This is such a nice picture of Grandpa and Grandma!


My great Aunt Rosie (and Uncle Ronnie too) was there for the weekend! Fun to see her and hear her laugh... it's very distinct and infectious! She was always helping do something!


Chloe loved playing with Taylor!


They absolutely loved the carriage ride!


It was so nice of Gary to ride around in the cold for so long!





We had an auction, which turned out to be pretty fun! Everyone brought items that reminded them of Grandpa to be sold and then everyone bid on them!


More play time!


Lincoln and Elijah playing with the yahtzee cups and dice!


More playing... Turns out Elijah doesn't share!! Something to work on!


Playing with Grammy!


We thought Maverick and Elijah looked a lot alike!!


Sweet little Westley smiling at his Mama!


Elijah and Cora bouncing on the air bed!


Another one of the look-alike boys!!

This was hilarious!! Mom was reading a story to Chloe and they both fell asleep!!!


Playing outside!


A LOT of football was played... Elijah wanted to join them!


Playing on the haystack!


Chloe was calling it her castle!


Yay!!

  5. oh, so the strike thru writing you asked about? maybe you figured it out, but it's just near the font & size options- & it has like strike thru an ABC i believe. next to the bold & italics buttons.

  6. I loved the pictures...they're so great and just keeps all the memories a little closer...honestly, I think because I DO have pictures of the kids when they were smaller, that they DO remember different things happening etc. and it's because they've seen these pictures and kept the memory fresh! Also, I love the pix of my sister reading to Chloe...snoozing away...I guess I can just relate a little too keenly, as I'd be doing the exact same thing...we take after our mother that way...she'd sit down for 2 minutes and be fast asleep!!!
