Thanksgiving 2008

Half our children were home for Thanksgiving. EJFs went to Kansas City with the in-laws to the Crown Center to see the Christmas lights turned on (and oh yeah, to swim in the pool too, I bet!)

K & T both have to work the day before and the day after Thanksgiving and it is too far to come for the day so they had a nice day planned with lots of exciting food and good company. Tony got to enjoy that day but Kristy was at home sick with the flu. Poor girl!

Johanna didn't have to work although the store was open. Craig & Traci had a couple of days off. Traci has to work Saturday and Sunday but Craig stayed in Des Moines to paint inside the new house. Exciting times for them ahead!

Wednesday afternoon, PaPa took the little ones out to blow some stink off! It was a little cool but it felt good to get out in the fresh air and run and climb!





















Gabby or Joey took this photo of their hot headed Nana! We spent Wednesday together and I got a lot of the cooking and prep done for Thursday's dinner. We kept to a simple menu but had plenty of it all and desert on top of that. The only thing I would have added was sweet potatoes for me and Traci. We'll have them at Christmas, Traci! with marshmallows!
