Thanksgiving 2011


Scott and Jenn's family and Nate and Angie's family came to visit over Thanksgiving break. We had a great time hanging out and eating all weekend. The kids had a fun time playing together too.

The three amigos. Crazy boys! Ha ha. They had a lot of fun hanging out all weekend. They loved eating and playing outside. They shot the BB gun quite a bit down at the pond.
Max thought Jerimiah was pretty cool to hang out with. I think Jerimiah liked having a little buddy that didn't talk back.
Its turkey time! Ham too! We actually cooked a turkey this year for Thanksgiving. (I know its traditional but Aaron and I don't really like turkey so we don't usually cook one) It was really good though.
  Sweet potatoes and green bean casserole. Yummy
Little Kate and her mommy too!
All the kids slept in the sun room. We just put a bunch of mattresses out on the floor in there. It worked really good. The kids had a fun time bouncing from one mattress to the other. It's amazing that they ever went to sleep.
Making tamales. Yay! I love tamales. Angie taught Jenn and I how. It was a lot of work but so worth it. Its definitely something you want to make in large batches and then freeze for future use. They are so good!
All the guys out shooting. The kids had to join in too. They were able to set up right outside the house. We haven't been able to do that in a long time.

We had such a great time with everyone this year. Hopefully we can have another big Thanksgiving or other get together this next year. We love spending time with our family. It's nice when they will come out to Oregon to see us! Love you all.
