Thanksgiving, Part 2

We were able to celebrate Thanksgiving with my side of the family this past Saturday.  As with the Pooley gathering, we had good food and good company!

My sister and my mom are such troopers (or as others might say - crazy)!  After we had our fill of ham and the fixins', they both agreed to help the girls make cupcakes! The girls got to do everything from dumping in the cake mix, to stirring the batter to filling the cupcake liners, and decorating the cupcakes with sprinkles!  After it was all done, the three of us adults were exhausted and we learned, as my sister said, "It takes a village to bake cupcakes with two girls!"







Later in the day, Uncle Matt entertained the girls in the garage by allowing them to "drive" his truck!  The pictures aren't the best because of the glare, but you can see how excited they were!




I didn't snap a lot of pictures - aside from the cupcake photos, but did manage to get a picture of Grandma Jane reading to the girls - a favorite past time for all of them!



This time next year, we will be celebrating and giving thanks for two more little members of our family!  We give thanks for all of our families now and for the two little Kemper boys that we have yet to meet!  Life is good!
