The Saturday after Thanksgiving, we gathered with the rest of the Thiel clan at Sarah's house to eat a wonderful meal and give thanks for our family.
We don't see the 'country Thiels' very often. Sarah and Jessica each have a beautiful baby of their own to keep them busy now. When get together though, it's just like it was yesterday that we saw each other.
That's one beautiful thing about family.
This is baby Emma Grace. She's Jessica's. Walt got to meet her for the first time.
Josh loved her, of course. Because she's a baby.
This is Gia Rose. She's Sarah's. And nearly two years old already! Carley likes playing dolls with her.
And Kiele Rain. I already knew she was big but she get so much more grown up each time I see her. She'll be a teenager before I know it. Her hair is getting long again and I love it.
Sarah is such a wonderful, happy host. Her home is beautiful, warm and welcoming. It was terrific to visit with Laura as well. I don't see here as often as I'd like.
Dinner was superb. Loads of natural, local, organic foods. And Sarah's sister-in-law (not pictured) is a trained pastry chef and yum-mee, she makes some killer pies.
Kid's table. What's a big family gathering without the kid's table? It won't be long before Kiele and Josh hate sitting at the kids table. For now they still love it.
And after dinner horseplay is always necessary. Brooke, Laura's husband, was so nice to oblige the kids with the horseplay. No one else was having it.

Between the Run to Feed the Hungry, dinner at our house with my friend Christy as company and a family dinner at Sarah's, this years Thanksgiving festivities turned out joyful and fun.
And there you go.
On to Christmas.
