Thanksgiving

Cutting onions outside, I can't stand the house to smell like them.
Our Feast!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We did. The whole family was there this year (except Rachel), but the rest of us enjoyed a wonderful feast. I made the Turkey and dressing, Mom made corn, apple pie, pumpkin pie, and blackberry pie. Jani made sweet potatos, mashed potatos, and garlic mashed potatos. Tod and Jessica made the rolls. The turkey turned out perfect!! Very moist. Everything was perfect. The table looked so good, it was a bit crowded since we had 15 people sitting around it. There were 16 all together including Jane, but she napped during dinner.
After dinner we played Wii bowling. It was really fun. Ben probably had the most fun just watching. In fact one time he jumped up and said "I do it", then he threw his arm forward and ran to the TV. It just so happened that Grandpa Steve threw the ball at the same time, so Ben thought he did it. It was precious!!!
I hope you are almost done with your Christmas preperations!! Hope to talk to you soon!!

Bailey was the lucky girl to find the Easter Egg hidden in a "fresh pile". He tends to do that every year!
