Thanksgiving in Philly

I didn't take any pictures on Thanksgiving day. Yikes. But these are all the pictures from around Thanksgiving time. :) 

We've been doing lots of home improvement around here. I'm so glad to have TWO handy men in the house!

I helped a bit the week my parents moved into their new home! This was my favorite view of the day: my dad and grandpa watching the movers from the living room window. My grandpa spent a LOT of time there that day.

the plaque outside the chapel (where we had a huge Thanksgiving gathering) designating the flagpole dedicated to my grandma, who passed away of cancer before I was born. This was so precious.

the veteran's memorial at my mom's neighborhood park. 

this one is for my siblings. Aunt Linda said now Grpa can't claim he's never been framed.

Thanksgiving 2012 in pictures

As if I didn't mention it enough, but my in-laws are BEAUTIFUL people!

Squash soup

So Amanda always reminds me that I never put anything on here, which is for the most part true.  So in breaking with tradition, I thought I'd share this picture of my lovely family enjoying dinner the other night having Marcia's famous squash soup. Stuart loved it so much that we couldn't feed him fast enough!  So we came up with this equation...
Stuart loves soup + Stuart loves straws = Picture perfect opportunity.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving yesterday! Jared, the guy and I had the privilege of spending it with the Ondricek side of the family, getting to know some folks we don't know very well. It was a neat day of food, family, photos, and football! I especially enjoyed looking through Ondricek family photo albums and learning some family history.

The Ondricek clan we enjoyed: Jared's aunts, uncle, cousin, gma, and us!
