Yes we are eating Thanksgiving dinner in the garage. When so many of us are here, there's no other place. We had a great day. We did a garbage can turkey which was a technique taught to us in Vermont by the Cochrans. Yummy. This is part of the crowd. The two favorite activities of the day besides eating were playing Uncle Jeff's Kinect and using cell phones. What is the world coming to?
We continued favorite traditions such as the making of the gingerbread houses:
Rollerskating with the Gunter family in Richland
Decorating the house.
Resting and relaxing
And happy Christmas morning
We're ready now to get back to our routine. We're remodeling the upstairs bathroom which is much harder than we anticipated. We're grateful for the joy we've had during the holidays with our family gathered round. We missed having Janeen and her family and Jennie and her family here. How joyful the celebration of the birth of our Savior is when we share it with family and friends.
