De Vries' in Denver: Thanksgiving in MI

Arie had his first flight experience on Nov. 20, 2012 when we flew from Denver to MI. Thanksgiving this year was spent in MI. There is so much to be thankful for when it comes to our families. We were able to spend a lot of time with our families and catch up with some friends.

Someone is super excited about the airport and to experience his first flight!! So much so that he slept the entire time - tee hehe.

Landed in MI and mom and dad picked us up - first time meeting Opa!

Oma getting some one on one time in front of the mirror (his new favorite thing!).

Opi and Omi enjoying their 7th great-grandchild (2nd great-grandson).

Tay, Ash, Liv and Cam loving on their cousin.

The trip wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Huizinga's House for din din and hang time with Levi. Arie having a minor meltdown and each time he would cry, Levi would start (like he felt for his little buddy!)

We enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner at the VerMaas' this year. Tony truly outdid himself with sides, 2 hams, 1 turkey and delicious flanksteak. Woo-hoo!

The kiddos after playing kick-the-can with Uncle Kevin! (and, yes, we actually enjoyed the sunshine in MI in November!)

In't Hout Farms

Arie and I took a trip to visit Auntie Lo. :)

Auntie Jamie loved chillin' with little man!

Hans, my cousin from the Netherlands, was out to visit as well. Loved hanging with him (as did the kiddos while playing games).

After being at the In't Houts for a couple days, we headed to the De Vries'. Makenna just loved holding Arie - making sure his pipey didn't fall out, singing and talking to him... He is loved!

"Uncle Drew throw me higher!" says Jakers.

After stopping at Ida's for some cinnamon rolls and danishes, a stop at Grandma Joan's was an order! Arie wore his Lil Stormy Cromer cap in remembrance of Grandpa Blake!
