We had a wonderful Thanksgiving vacation in New Jersey with Luke's family. It was truly blessed and filled with lots of fun and laughter! Grammy and Pop put a little basketball hoop in the garage, and that was a very popular activity for both of the boys... wait, I should say all three of the boys since Luke greatly enjoyed it too. :) They also broke out their bin of matchbox cars, which made Jonah and Caleb really happy. I think it's safe to say they spent most of their playtime with the cars, especially because they had a little racetrack set up in the living room. Luke and Jonah spent a lot of time building different racetracks and testing out the cars on them to see which ones were fastest.
Of course we continued reading books, and it's always fun to go somewhere new and read new books we haven't read before. Jonah got to do a lot of things with Pop, like feed the birds, empty the bucket at the compost pile, ride in his truck, and sit on the tractor. We also took some walks outside and enjoyed the fresh air.
On Thanksgiving Day, Mary Anne's side of the family came over, and we had a big meal in the afternoon. Jonah had a little playmate, Owen, who is also 3 years old, and they had a lot of fun together, especially with the cars. It was wonderful to see the relatives because it's been a while since we've been here! Oh, and one special moment was when Jonah got to meet Aunt Colleen... she was the purchaser and giver of his best friend Ellie the Blanket. He got to personally say thank you for Ellie!!!
It was a great Thanksgiving, and we are really thankful we got to spend it with family and loved ones. We've kept in our thoughts and prayers all those who we could not be with on Thanksgiving. Hopefully it was a nice week for everyone else, too!
Last but not least, some pictures we took during our time here:
