November Leftovers

November is always busy with work but extra so this year as we had our 5 year cafe celebration. It is, also, the month for Beach's favorite holiday, Thanksgiving.  We had a few other moments including a visit with my sister and family where we got to see Josiah, too!
It was brief but sweet.
I guess Shiloh had some selfie time with my mom on my phone.

Drinks and snacks while we wait for our pick up order!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The business of the month means Beach often falls asleep in random places at times, maybe even the dinner table. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Other selfies found on my phone for the month...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zoe came out in this handband and it reminded me of one she had that was similar when she was a baby.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We match!  I suppose it calls for a picture.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beach enjoys making a cheesecake for the holidays each year.  This time Ezra helped as well.
I later found him on the floor inspecting it cooking!
And then even later found Beach doing the same thing! 😂
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you kids choose to smosh into each other while waiting and you attempt to take a picture, it made Ezra flee.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zoe went to a Josiah Queen concert with a friend and ran into the cousins!
Much of the other time was working with little pictures to show for it.😃

Full Thanksgiving - Day 2

The official Thanksgiving day rolled in (even through we greatly enjoyed, also, celebrating the night before), and Beach was excited to host brunch for both sides of our family in our new kitchen.
 
It was PJ optional and our immediate family adorned our new matching Christmas onesies. The main course is Beach's gluten free waffles that are amazing that he keeps cooking to all are full!
The kids enjoy watching the Macy's Day Parade while they brunch.
Teenaging hard in wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.
I remembered after we ate about my traditional Thanksgiving tablecloth....so those that stayed a little longer signed it.
Gathering together to say hello and send a video to my sister and her family.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That evening we were able to dine at Beach's parents house where Donald was, also, visiting from MI with his new dog!
Donna always does a great job on her decor!
Hank (the dog) got a lot of attention and love.
Andddd Shiloh was holding my phone and took some photos...
And also enjoyed a head massage.

Peaceful way to cap off some blessed family time.

So much to be thankful for!
