Thanksgiving in Michigan

We traveled to Michigan to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with our families. On the drive to and from, we stopped at Aunt Jane's house just outside of Chicago where Henry was able to meet cousin Jon. We spent the holiday weekend in Holland with Oma, Opa, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Jessica, Uncle Tony and cousin Oliver. The cousins loved playing with Opa's drum set, and Oliver amazed us all with his new skill of walking!

Snowy weekend

Grandma and Grandpa are visiting on our first snowy weekend of the fall (3-4 inches!) We all warmed up by the fireplace for several hours yesterday, literally, while we didn't have any power. An electricity line went down directly behind our house under the weight of the snow. Unfortunately Henry isn't quite old enough to know how cool it was to have a fire truck and firefighters in our backyard securing off the area before the electric company was able to fix the problem.
