Thanksgiving in Iowa

We served the babies first.  We thought it was cute to see them sitting together, then when Nelli started grabbing Olie's binky and trying to feed him, I moved her away :) 


It was quite the feast...so good!

We went to a few places around Iowa; this is the city library.

I helped Leah cut up some shirts for a patch work dress she's making Cami.  Katie thought the scraps were rad.

It was cold!

It was so fun to be in Iowa with Leah, Jason and kids.  We just loved talking, cooking, playing killer bunnies (watch out for Leah...she's relentless), watching Cranford (a BBC TV show, Leah and I  couldn't stop laughing) and other fun adventures.  We went to where a group of Mennonites live and found some outrageous deals on bulk grains and overstock groceries. We checked out their cheese factory...did you know they make chocolate cheese?  It tastes like fudge.

Can I just say, Leah has the best breakfast breads ever! I was in heaven.
