Thanksgiving 2011

We are so thankful for our wonderful families.

Grammy and G-daddy kicked off the holiday weekend on Wednesday by driving into town with the girls.  Here we have the cousins modeling winter hats.  I would say that Jacob's hat is the most understated of the group.  G-daddy forgot his at home.

It is wonderful to get the families together and Thanksgiving is a special treat.  What a group we had this year!  Of course we had the in town crowd (Babcia, Dziadzio, Paul, Annemarie, Jacek, Jola, Karol, and Alex), but this year Grammy, G-daddy, Ashley, Jaden, Lane, and Aunt Denise made the trip to town. 

Babcia cooked for days so she would have enough in case a small country came over.

Now that he has a tooth and a half, Jacob made sure to taste a couple things.  Babcia went all out on his first Thanksgiving.  What a feast!  Yummy!

After we all got our fill, Jacob made the rounds to snuggle and secure deposits for his college tuition. 

 What a great evening and what a precious baby.

 Jacob must have spotted a few left over crumbs on my face.....

After an outfit change, Jacob showed Mr Bear who is boss.  Too bad he didn't have his bear hat handy because then it would have been a real throw down.  

 Mr Bear and Jacob are skeptical....

 

 We can't wait to do it all again next year!!!
