"I'm thankful for..."

On Thanksgiving eve as Snoop was turning in for the night I asked him what he was thankful for. Here were his responses:

"I'm thankful for Mommy, Daddy and Maya."

"I'm thankful for my tissues and my cars."

"Oh! And I'm thankful for my Snoopy clock!"

Here's hoping we can all be thankful for the simple things in life.

Doing homework with Daddy

3 years old already??!??

A small family gathering at Uncle Len's and Aunt Alice's house made for a very fun birthday celebration! Happy birthday Snoop (and a special shout-out to Aunt Alice - both celebrate their birth on the same day!)

Is it time to open presents yet???

John helps with the gifts - he kept things running smoothly!

"Lightning McQueen" made several appearances in various different forms - the umbrella was a crowd pleaser!

The best part: Cake and Ice Cream!

Cousins!

It's not often that all of the cousins get in a room together - this photo is going in the archives. It's one for the ages!

Live action: Tractor Ride!

Another Michigan Summer!

What better way to start 2 weeks at Grandma and Papa's house than with a homemade orange juice popsicle?!?

Exploring the landscape at Uncle Tom's farm...

Not sure about this tractor ride

Getting the hang of it!

Toys for Big Boys and Little Boys!

Off to the Lake on a beautiful day...

This is the life, huh Dad?

Beach bum... for sure!

Last stop: Lansing Aquatic Center!

"Just keep swimming..."

Trying to drink the pool is a bad idea, right Auntie JoJo?

The perfect end: Reeses' Peanut Butter Cups
