Holiday Fun with the Dykstra Family


There were large flocks of geese sunning themselves in the school yard behind our house on Thanksgiving Day. The air was loud with their squawking. They seemed to know that they have been saved from being the Thanksgiving bird.

Dan and his mother prepared the bird.
Dan and his father cut the bird. 
The next day we found a tree farm. Jill is a big helper. :)
Man. Saw. Grunt.
Watching Dad and Dan mount the tree to the car was a comedy of errors.
Morgan was eager to open presents on Saturday morning. We waited until everyone was up.
Mom Dykstra enjoys a gift.
Jill gets the big present she was waiting for. *Love*
Mom gets a smooch.

I love some of these pictures - especially the one of Morgan and the one of Dan's parents at the bottom. Looks like a truly enjoyable time!
