Thanksgiving in Michigan: A Photo Essay

What is Thanksgiving with the Hanes family without lots of delicious, homemade pies?

Babywearing #2
We still love babywearing!  I was excited to use my handmade mei tai carrier again after replacing the brown panel fabric that was falling off.

"moo cows"
Valerie learned two new words - "moo" and "cow" - thanks to the cattle Ted's dad raises

oh Christmas tree
his parents also sell Christmas trees - I love how this photo of the pre-cut trees turned out

  2. Glad you had such a great time with family. And I know Great Grandma and Grandma enjoyed the kids!
    I know I enjoyed my time with my grandkids on our Thanksgiving together.

    Great pictures. Looks like a great place to visit! Such pretty trees. And kids always like animals.

    I wish they would have had those baby wraps when I was young. It looks so cozy to hold baby close like that...and yet be able to get things done.

    Love, Linda

  4. Fun post! I love your mei tei! Did you make it yourself? If so, how much do you charge for one?

    Those pies looked so yummy and that's so neat that Ted's parents sell Christmas trees!

    Alivia also has that same gray shirt from Target! :)
