Thanksgiving pics

My little brother Matt and his wife Chrissy traveled from Des Moines, Iowa to be with us on Thanksgiving. Zach and Tirzah and their girls also joined us. Good times were had catching up with each other, the girls making jewelry with Aunt Chrissy, playing Blokus, and attempting to moisten up the turkey by letting it bathe a while in a pool of gravy (oh well...Thanksgiving side dishes are my favorite anyway..who needs turkey really?) Thanksgiving is always the most difficult holiday away from family so I loved having them here!

You guys are so lucky to be this close to relatives. I am way jealous but at least we have good friends like you to spend time with :) Sorry your turkey didn't turn out!

Oh I love family get togethers. I think it's wonderful that you all were able to get to see one another.

Sorry you didn't have a moist turkey that is a bummer. I like the sides more too.

We made an unexpected trip to Utah for Thanksgiving because Paul's dad passed away. It's been rough.

Give your family our love.
