Thanksgiving Weekend

Hope everybody had a fun, filling and safe Thanksgiving. This was our first Thanksgiving in Spokane. My first major holiday away from my family. I thought I actually did pretty well. I was a little teary early in the day, but, I made it through. Mike had to work 2 to 10, so the kids and I went to Jim and Janice's for Thanksgiving. Besides us, Julie, Jay, Zach and Dylan were there and Dave, Tae and Sydney came later in the day. It seemed so weird 1.) not having Mike there with me and 2.) not being with my family. I guess some people do get used to it, but when you come from a large family-it pretty hard.

Caite helping with the gravy...boy if she isn't careful, she just might have to do all the cooking next year!!

Time to chow down!

Caite and Josh bowling with the Wii.

Looks more like a Saturday Night Fever move there, Caite "Travolta"!! RaeLynn is snowboarding with the WiiAfter dinner, we tried to get the grand kids pictures since RaeLynn was here. You can NEVER get all of them behaving or looking in the right direction at the same time. Here are the "Big" kids misbehaving
Sydney was through with getting pictures taken!You can't tell me that these four are not cousins!!! They sure do all look alike.

I can't believe that Josh is actually posing and smiling in this picture!!
On Friday, November 28, was RaeLynn's 18th birthday. She was able to celebrate it with cake and ice cream and family. Was a nice surprise for her. Can't believe that she is already 18!! They grow up to fast!!
Happy Birthday Rae!!!
Josh and Mike messing around
What a smile!!
Sneaking a picture of Zachary
We tried to take some pictures of Caite at home, but she had the giggles and Josh kept bothering her. These two actually turned out pretty good, except for Josh's leg (stinker!)
