On Thanksgiving my sister in-law took the kids pictures. I wanted to share just a couple. She did a great job! I am adding her photo blog to the blog list.

I love the pics Melanie took!! She did such an awesome job! Sure wish I had thought of having her do that for us while Zach and Mel were here. I love the pic of the three kids standing in front of the garage.... Also love the one of Arie!!
