thanksgiving!

we had a great day at the zylstras' house. my favorite thing about this first picture (and whenever we are with these dear friends) is that parents and kids are all together, with great affection and tenderness for everyone.
we also made a "thankfulness tree" for the first time this year (thanks, ashley!). every day the girls wrote something for which they are thankful on a leaf...it was fun to hear what they chose to celebrate each day.
