Thanksgiving . . . A Little Late!

I, like many of you, have a MILLION things I SHOULD be doing, and blogging really should be done after my list is completed, but here I sit writing this very long run-on sentence! :) In order to change my background on my blog, I need to hurry and post about Thanksgiving! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving up at Jeff's Dad's place in Idaho. The trip started out more like a very LONG adventure for my sister-in-law Tricia who got a flat on the side of the freeway on her way to pick the kids and I up! BEEN THERE! But we were thankful that it all got taken care of and that we arrived safely! It was very nice of my mother-in-law to let us use her van so we could all ride together while our husbands worked a little longer! All in all we had GOOD food (Alison really enjoyed her very first turkey dinner), GREAT company, FUN with cousins, YUMMY treats, VERY LATE game nights, and Jeff's brother Clay even DID SOME DISHES!!! Hah! I am thankful for an amazing family, extended and all!

Liz, I really love the pictures. I haven't seen a lot of the family in a VERY Long time. Thank you for capturing so much of them. The kids are just so... happy. That makes me so happy and all I want to do is just pinch those checks. Thank you for sharing.

That picture of Kyle kissing Allison is precious. I'm glad you had a good time and made it home safely.

Liz,
Very cute pictures first of all. We missed having you here, but it was probably warm and dry where you were-not here! Second of all, Chad is not very well represented in these pictures. These are the kinds of things he'll remember and hold against you his whole life! Oh, wait, it that just you and me who do that??
