On Saturday after Marie's final t-ball game, we packed up and drove to Sheldon for the Van Beek Thanksgiving.
The kids were so anxious to see everyone and play, play, play!
The meal was delicious, the house was loud and full of people, the games were rowdy, tummies were stuffed, and the kids were exhausted.
Due to above fun NO pictures were taken!!! I felt terrible at the end of the night but honestly I was just having too much fun to stop and take a photo. Plus, we tend to not see our kids at the Van Beek gatherings because all the grand-kids are playing so hard together down in the basement...they usually come upstairs all sweaty and looking for more snacks and drinks before running back down.
Due to Andy's need for more hunting early Sunday morning, we randomly decided to stay overnight in Sheldon even though we were not prepared.
The kids were so happy they got to stay overnight instead of drive back to Sioux City after the celebration.
In the morning, we stayed in our jammies while helping Grandma Nel start her Christmas decorating.
The night before we had taken down all her decorations from the attic while enjoying a trip down memory lane. My mom saved a lot from our childhood and it is really fun to look through at favorite toys, books, and even diaries.
While Andy was up in the attic he found the Lincoln Logs. He enjoyed helping the kids set a few cabins up before bed Thanksgiving night.
Before leaving for home on Sunday, we enjoyed Thanksgiving meal leftovers (the best part) for lunch.
We had a wonderful first Thanksgiving celebration and look forward to more later this week!
