Turkey Day Revisited...

I think most people who read this blog were either with our family during the Thanksgiving celebrations or have already received a dose of it through the other blogs.  Nonetheless, here's the quick version without pictures (although I have found the camera -yeah!).

We enjoyed spending time with both sides of the family this year.  It's nice having Aaron's parents three miles away because we benefitted by seeing all of the Marcum cousins (who came to G-ma and G-pa's for Thanksgiving) but were still able to sleep in our own beds at night.  What a bonus! Mostly, the cousins just love spending time together no matter what's going on.  They played games, watched funny movie clips, enjoyed eating at Craigo's pizza on Friday evening and such.

My Aunt Kathy and Uncle Brent (Dad's sister) hosted the grand feast on Thursday and we all managed to eat more than was necessary.  Who can refuse Kathy's homemade candies and chocolates?  We did fit in a little exercise, however, if you can count the annual bowling tournament.  Hey, even I bowled 2 strikes without the side rails being up!  The kids loved the turkey pinata, playing the Wii, making crafts, playing with cousins, etc.  The day ended in traditional fashion - with fireworks!  Umm, is that legal? 

We have so much to be grateful for and it was a wonderful day to celebrate all that is good in this world.  Thanks to each of you for being part of our lives!

It was a lot of fun to see you guys at Thanksgiving. We miss having you close. The kids really love getting together. There were no plays this go around though! What was up with that?

I am glad to know that you guys still go bowling. What I want to know is who won?
