Thanksgiving

We had a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving. We hosted Grandpa Howard, Grandma Sally, Uncles David & Robert, Aunts Carol, Deb and Karen, and Cousins Garrett and Ivey. Brooke wasn't too sure about the crowd at first, but she got over that pretty quickly. Carol had joined a barter group this past year and traded out some dental work for catering, so we were able to take it easy this year! What a treat!! The caterer did a great job! The turkey was delish, as was the roast beef, some sides and an ENORMOUS cheesecake and german chocolate cake. We added some homemade sides and the meal was complete. The family is very lucky right now, as everyone is employed and healthy. Here are some snaps from the day.

Garrett, Ivey and Carol after eating. The tryptophan has already gotten to Garrett.

Mark actually showing his teeth!!! (He paid enough for his braces, you'd think he'd want to show off the results! Old habits die hard.)

Karen and Grandpa Howard discussing driving routes out west.

Ivey, Olivia and Brooke having some fun.

We have alot to be thankful for this year! But the best thing is the newest face at our table, little Brooke!!!!
