Our good friends, Kelly and Elliott, and their three children have been on the east coast (vs. Oregon) the past few years for law school. We’ve tried to get together with them along with our friends Aaron/Laura and Kathryn/Paul every Thanksgiving that we’ve all been on this side of the country. We loved visiting them in Boston last spring and were so excited to have them visit us this fall in Williamsburg! I was hoping little Julia would hold off her arrival so I could enjoy their visit and she obliged quite nicely. :) They left Monday morning and she arrived Monday afternoon!
Elliot, Aaron and Kathryn were good friends of Nathan’s in Alaska and then all of us (minus Aaron :( ;)) went to Hillsdale together and Kelly, Laura, Kathryn and I all became good friends then. :) These weekends when we can all get together with our children now are so fun. Evelyn and Grace love their friends Adelynn and Margaret!
There aren’t many pictures of our time together, but that’s what happens when there are 8 (almost) kids and 10 adults (counting Nathan’s parents - the hosts of most of our partying ;)).
Secret fort behind the chair :)
Adelynn reading to all the girls
Each year all of us girls have gathered live greenery and made Christmas wreaths together. :) Here we are in process…
And with the final products!
One of our favorite family pictures was from this weekend as well… too bad it was outdated less than 24 hours later - ha!
We’re so thankful for such good friends even after so many years and miles between us! (Kjer and Nick! We missed you guys this year!!!)
