Thanksgiving 2011

From the title you can probably tell I finished editing my pics.  It was a lovely time over at Michael's parents home & the details/food were excellent, as usual.  The car trip went very quickly this time & Michael & I had a great time catching up and enjoying some adult conversation.  I got to photograph my precious niece & nephew, which I thoroughly enjoyed.  Here are some snapshots of the weekend that I hope you will enjoy!  Loving the telephoto lens these days, although, I definetly still need practice with this and the settings on my camera...but pretty good pics for an amateur like myself, if I do say so myself ;)

Let me start by saying that we are all very thankful for the wonderful blessings we have enjoyed throughout this past year & for the addition of 2 healthy & beautiful kids into the family.  We thank God for all that we enjoy!

I know it looks too pretty to be true, my MIL is amazing at decorating

My nephew-Brendan Muller--4 months old & just as sweet as he looks

Nothing more beautiful than a mother's love

I like that he's touching his mommy's hand

Couldn't resist this adorable hat

Nothing could be better than baking with grandma

1st Thanksgiving...spent mostly on grandpa's lap

Even the littlest girl of the house had to get in on all the fun: Hannah 4, Jessica 20 months, Ella 6 months

Look at my hubs, using the precision of a surgeon to carve the bird ;)

After a long day of eating & playing, it's pretty fun to share a bath

Bathing beauties ;)

We visited the animals that live next door & fed them some treats

One of my all time favorites of Michael & Jess

My niece Hannah (4) & grandpa feeding the cow

Swing set time!  Look at that action shot & in B/W also

Look out boys...this one is a heart breaker

Jessica would swing constantly if we would let her

Grandpa pushing Jessica--I like this pic a lot, love that grandpa's hands are prominent in the pic

The million dollar pic...everyone looking at the camera...MoMo even made it in the pic ;)

My niece & nephew- Hannah 4 years, Brendan 4 months

Model in the making??  I certainly think so!

The final pic...two little ones in their hats...I couldn't resist it ;)
