Over the Thanksgiving week, Mia, Deb and I took a trip
back to Lowell, Michigan to see friends and family.
We spent most of the week at our centennial family farm near Bear Lake, MI. The weather was perfect for a trip north - cold and snowy. We had the entire Vredenburg and extended families staying with us (crowded house). During Thanksgiving dinner we had 38 people sitting down for dinner.
Thank you Leah (Mom) for pulling off another wonderful trip to the Michigan, the Vredenburg Farm and awesome Thanksgiving dinner - Matt officially gained four pounds on my trip to Michigan.
