Thanksgiving

Dan had to work Thanksgiving this year so we headed down on Wednesday to celebrate Thanksgiving with his side of the family. Aunt Nancy and Uncle Dave came into tow from Texas and it was so great to see them. Tahana and Zach were there as well as The Davis clan (Dan's cousin) from California. It really turned out to be a great dinner and a great time. While the 5 of us were together we took some shots for our Christmas cards, here is a sneak peek of them, you'll have to watch your mail to see which one(s) we picked. =)

On Thanksgiving we headed to the Fire Station to celebrate with Dan and his crew. It was a REALLY nice day. The guys cooked the turkey and the wives brought all the sides. The kids had fun playing and the adults enjoyed hanging out, and they only got 1 quick call the whole time we were there. =)

I did not get to see my side for Thanksgiving this year, I am bummed about that. It was a hard one, the first without my brother. We miss him.

We hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
