Thanksgiving

This is your dad's favorite holiday.  Adam loves thanksgiving because it is all about family and food.  Years ago we had to make the decision of how to handle multiple family get together and so for thanksgiving we switch every other year between family's this year is the Roelofs Family Thanksgiving (Adam's mom's side).  Really the switching works well, we make it to the Roelofs side when the bulk of the cousins are there and when we are at the Faasse side (my mom's) Uncle Gary's family is there too.  This is a great year to be on Adam's side too because Uncle Aaron, Aunt Chelsea and Raylee are all in town and at thanksgiving too.

It will be interesting to see what you grow up to like best from both families dishes of special holiday food.  This year you really liked the sweet poatatos and the roll, you tried mashed potatoes too but they were too thick for you.
