Thanksgiving, Part Two

See below for Part One! :)

Part Two is our celebrations with Paul's family! We had Thanksgiving/Christmas with his Mom/Dad and brothers/sisters on Friday. Good time, as usual!


It's exhausting being an Ortho Resident. Notice Amber's smile, she's pretty used to Joel falling asleep anywhere and everywhere! :)


More then the kids enjoyed Dakota's present.


More time getting to know extended family.
Christy (my niece), Ali, Adrian, Noah (Luke and Ann Schafers boys) and Dakota at the Bahler gathering. Dakota was loving having the Schafer boys to rough house with.

Whirlwind Thanksgiving! Part One

I had too many pictures I wanted to post so I am splitting them up! I feel like the long Thanksgiving weekend flew by since we were so busy. It was well worth it though, to spend time with friends and family! We have more to be thankful for then I could ever list. Here are some pictures from our fun times the past few days! Part One is my family gathering:


So thankful that my Dad is here with us to celebrate Thanksgiving, and walked into my grandparent's house on his own 2 feet!


Trae with my Grandma Wuethrich


Good food!


So fun to see my kids having a good time with my cousin's kids! Trae and Una (Tia and Billy's little girl) giving each other a hug!

Just Because....

Just because this picture makes me smile! Ali got to have a sleepover at Uncle Aaron and Aunt Kayla's this past summer and it just happened to be over Riley's birthday. Let's just say she was more then a little excited about it! :)

The stomach flu bug.....

...has bitten us very badly! In 8 days, 4 of us had the flu. We made the mistake of being hopeful that we had it beat and spent some time with my siblings on Sunday. Unfortunately, it had not passed and we infected my siblings also. So sorry guys! I was the last to have it and am still a little weak but feeling much better. However, I am very tired of laundry as there have been mini mountains of it to take care of during this time!

Since we were hit around the time my Dad came home from the hospital I have not yet been able to see him since then. I hear he is doing very well though! Therapy 3 days a week and he is making progress. He even got to go to church for the afternoon service on Sunday, such a blessing!
