Thanks Giving!

The girls in the above picture are helping me with the pie crust, the are sporting their new fashionable aprons, designed (grandma) Ann Nelson.
Cooking... daddy making gravy.
There is SO much to be Thankful for! Good health warm friends and loving family. We had a dear friends (and family) the Yoo's and their daughter Jasmine and our best of friends family, the Thatchers with their three kids and they brought along Angela, a friend of theirs, now ours as well.
I remember as a kid we had the "kids table" and I hated it! Couldn't wait to graduate, but it seemed by the time I did, the "kid" table was no longer. :(
Any way, I hope this isn't a way to torture my kids, but hopefully because they are with their best friends that they can enjoy the "kid table".
Its nice having such a LARG hot Cocoa (coffee) table for the kids to sit around.
I realize that I didn't get a very good shot of ALL the adults, but here are a few for the idea.

Ellie and her homemade drum set.

TWILIGHT, Edward bit me! (SO lucky!)

The evening of November 20th, my awesome cousins threw me a good-bye party. Shortly after I met my Sister Diana and her kids, Danielle, Hannah, Steve, and Karlee, and my mom. They had beenin line for over an hour and and 1/2, then an hour and 1/2 more once I arrived! At least we had good sets, besides these obnoxious group of annoying girls. I loved the movie, Edward is hot and they did well-comparing to the book. Espexially on a $37,000 budget!

My Favorite Things, By Madeline

Piano Recital

Girls playing piano at their recital
Ellie playing Marry Had a Little Lamb
& Madeline playing the "Door Bell"- but I think it sounds more like a Grand Father Clock.
& "Once there was a Princess".
