GIVE THANKS...

Few days ago we celebrated Thanksgiving Day.
I have so much to be thankful for. 
Most of all...
The family.
I am thankful for my family where I was born to...
Family I married to...
and the family I have now with my husband...
 
We celebrated this Thanksgiving with my in-laws at their house. 
It was fun and relaxing...


 
My mother-in-law has a yearly tradition of making gingerbread houses with her grand kids.
Maija got to be the first one this year...





 
...while the boys watch football...

 
...with Jason and my father-in-law


 
Table is set and waiting for us to sit down and have a feast...


 
Markus is setting up the ambiance...

 
And the first gingerbread house is all ready...

 
Before dinner we crack some fire crackers

 
Niko and Kai





 
My wonderful in-laws

 
Kai slicing the ham...

 
Jason and my father-in-law carving the turkey...

 
Maija is taking a nap after dinner...
 
I had good intentions of taking pictures of our wonderful, delicious Thanksgiving dinner
but once the food was ready
 I forgot all about my camera...
but I can tell you this...
 the food was to die for!
 

 
After dinner Niko had a turn making his gingerbread house.
 
I never got a picture of the finished house
because Maija and I ended up upstairs
while she was watching tv
I got my traditional Thanksgiving nap!
 
Such a great day with people I love most!
