Thanksgiving was WONDERFUL! we were super blessed by lots of friends-new and old- and a beautiful city to celebrate in. Brandon and i were house-sitting for some friends and they were kind enough to let us have our thanksgiving feast in their home. let's just say the best part about it was the dishwasher (not to mention the huge kitchen/table, satellite tv, etc)!!! haha

i put emily to work...now that's a dedicated friend!
the boys figuring out where to put all the chairs
basting the turkey (after calling my mom for the 3rd time!)
again, emi was such a huge help. she did my most unfavorite job: peeling potatoes
the finished product
our friend, Todd, carving the turkey he and Jen brought.
Ryan and Alex being helpful
Brandon carving his first turkey
the spread...way too much food
can't keep emily from helping...
playing chickenfoot after we filled our bellies
i had everyone write what they were thankful for on our pumpkin
Jen, Todd, Brandon, Emi and I (and some random very happy man) downtown at the annual Christmas Tree lighting...INCREDIBLE
after the lighting. 75 feet hight, 50 years old. just beautiful
I love you, emily!
And today after church, Brandon, Alex and I went to buy a Christmas tree! The tree wouldn't fit in our car (what we did last year) and since we don't have a rack on top of my car, Brandon and Alex walked home with it. i LOVE living in the city!!! here they are flexing their muscles.
