Family in Town Take 2

I love our tradition of having family in Cleveland for Thanksgiving and this year we were extra lucky hosting BOTH sides including all of our siblings! Thankfully, they weren't here at the same time and we had a 2-day break in between the visits. I've already posted pictures of the visit from my family, so here are a bunch from Derek's family.

Reading with Aunt Whit and Grandpa, cooking with Mimi, roller coaster with Mimi and Grandpa and playing with Uncle Matt.
Lesa also brought a gingerbread house for us to partake in and Drew, once again, loved it. This kid will someday win a decorating competition with his precision and skill. He even wrote his own name in frosting! (not)


And what Thanksgiving is complete without pumpkin pie? I think the 3-generation-pie-eating picture is officially an annual tradition.


I really do feel blessed to have such great in-laws. I realize there are a lot of you that dread your spouse's family coming in town, but I look forward to it! 


Have a wonderful week!
