Thanksgiving

Derek got up early to run in the annual turkey fun run (or whatever you call it) he got back in time to help me clean and set up tables for our thanksgiving feast.We had a wonderful day with all the kids here except Jeph & Hannah. (Jeph was too sick and couldn't make it). I didn't have to cook the turkey this year, because Jacqui wanted to cook one and she actually cooked two. One of them she smoked and the other one she cooked the traditional way. I talked Kathryn & Jared to deep fry another one, so they came early and fryed that one up. Anyway, we had turkey coming out of our ears and we had desserts galore. It is so funny that we spend so much time and energy on a meal that is done in 30 minutes.

We had all the kids sit at one table and they did really well and all the adults sat together at the grownup table.
We worked really hard to get the basement fixed up so that the kids could go downstairs to watch movies and to play, but that didn't work out too well. I think the kids wanted to play on the computer or just be upstairs with everybody.

We did get to play some games with everybody, which I always enjoy. The grandkids liked to be a part of that too. They are getting old enough to play games themselves.

I love all the pictures! My favorite is that you pieced the picture of Alicia, kathryn and I together. We all need to play games more often.
