29 November 2009 - Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year, we went to Karl and Jolene's house in Delaware. We were able to go for six days, which was nice since its about a six hour drive each way -- it gave us time to enjoy, and not just travel.

On Thanksgiving morning, we had our own little Turkey Bowl in the backyard.The kids all enjoyed helping with the meal. In this picture, they're getting the dinner rolls ready.
Everybody (including me) loved holding baby Eden, who brought her mom (Danae) and dad (Jerry) down from New Jersey for the holiday.
Uncle Karl (and Trevor) even got the weekend off from work to spend time with the family. Trevor's my little buddy.

Aunt Joanne's always good for a gingerbread house with the kids. This was on Sunday afternoon before it was time to head home.
We are grateful to live near family and have the opportunity to spend time with them during the holidays.
