Thanksgiving

Like so many away from family around the holidays, we spent Thanksgiving with wonderful friends...and what a phenomenal Thanksgiving it was! There were 4 families gathered at the home of our friends: 7 children and 7 adults. The food was delicious, conversation was good, and the company was awesome.

We started the day with some exercise...mostly so we wouldn't feel so guilty when we indulged in the dinner and pie. James and Steve went for a bike ride and Molly and I went for a 5 mile run.









That evening, Steve became popular with the kids when he started reading stories...









James wowed us with his talent on the drums...











A sure sign of a good Thanksgiving dinner...






While we have a lot to be thankful for, we are especially thankful to our friends who invited us over to share the holiday with them. Though we were disappointed we couldn't make it to Ohio to be with my brother and his family, we had a very enjoyable time. This is the second Thanksgiving we have spent with them and we felt just like family. Thank you.

James was the feroucious (sp?) butterfuly boy.
