Thanksgiving

We hosted Thanksgiving this year and we had quite the turnout. We ended up having 30 people come, we actually invited more like 45-50. We held it at the barn and I think it turned out pretty good. I passed out food assignments and had my pies made the day before, that way we could concentrate on the turkey.
Here is our tasty guy.

Ky carving the guest of honor, well one of them!

George and Kami hanging out before the feast, she loved seeing all her uncles.

Most of the group, and Ash's black eye (I didn't mean to get that in there)

Kami enjoyed her food.

We hung out and played games after dinner and planned the shopping strategies for the next day. We had lots of good food and company. Ky says we are covered for ten years before it is our turn to host again! I really didn't mind. I am actually more stressed about London, there is a lot to do before we leave. I am glad the weather cooperated a bit and everyone was able to make it. We had fun staying up all night at the barn. The kids and those from warmer climates (Jason) loved all the snow we got, although it was a bit cold to break out the snowmobiles. However, Jason braved it and took a ride, his first I think. The girls enjoyed all their cousins, we were especially glad Cole and Sydney could come. And this was the last time my family will be together until London. Thanks everyone for coming and pitching in!

What would Thanksgiving be without black-friday! I think Briant is one of the biggest black-friday shoppers EVER! Since most of my shopping is done there wasn't anything worth getting up too early for. However, that being said we still went out and got some great deals. Mar got the cutest dress for the wedding and we both got matching boots. I also got a camera to take with me on the trip (with AA batteries). Here are the pics I found on the memory card that came with our first camera, August 08.

Kami had no hair and Ash hasn't changed a bit!
We looked at the calendar and we have 4 open nights in the next 4 weeks! Our life is just getting crazier and now I am planning two birthday parties and realized I need to do Christmas cards too!
I should also mention that this week also brought us a new nephew, congrats Devin and Julie! And a new ?? (my vote is boy) to come, congrats to that unnamed couple- for now!
