The Euken's ... Life as we know it!

Thankful!

After spending a week with family, I am reminded again of how much I have to be thankful for. This Thanksgiving, we got to host! Our cozy house was full of lots of children, food, and happy hearts. There were kids sleeping in closets and bathrooms. Adults were sleeping on air mattresses. At one point we had 6 dozen eggs, 7 pies, and 24 sticks of butter in the fridge. We enjoyed lots of family time and LOTS of yummy food :)

Enjoy a picture recap! Some cute cousins waiting for Grammie and Papa to come over for breakfast.
 

I think these two brushed their hair together at least 5 times a day!
   
 We took some family pics for Grammie's Christmas card.
   
 Decorating cut out cookies ... carrying on the tradition!
   
 Papa had his knee replaced a few weeks ago and Mollie couldn't wait to share her ice pack with him :)
   
 Getting a good pic with these three is like herding cats.
   
 Mollie got some good practice being a big sister with cousin Carter.
   
 We were even able to have GGP, Aunt Karen, and Uncle Jim visit us on Friday for lunch.
   
 Who would have known Uncle Randog was awesome at drawing combines?!?!

 
Our house will seem extra quiet this week. We are thankful for our God loving families and the time we get to spend together. Next up on the agenda, a baby!! We'll keep you posted!
