Thanksgiving Weekend With Visitors!


This was an early Christmas present from Jason's mom and dad. They are beautiful Polish dishes! It took Julie, and Aunt Sue her sidekick, months to collect all these pieces. They are hand-made and painted by the Polish people. Jason served his mission in Poland so this was especially amazing for him! The dishes are so beautiful, heavy, and durable. I have a piece for every occasion or need. I can't believe how much time they put into making sure they had everything. I wish I had a better picture of everything, but this was the best I got.
Thanks so much Mike, Julie, (and Aunt Sue for aiding the search!)

We had a night where we had a gingerbread building and decorating contest. This team thought they were #1 obviously.


...and so did this team. Ben actually surprised me at his amazing decorating talents!
He was very diligently icing the roof to perfection.


Brooklyn and Cambree had the same pajamas so they were very cool!



Everyone hard at work...


Notice how Jason just ate the candy more than participated in the decorating.



Ours was obviously the best though.
Especially since this is my blog :)


Ben, Emilee, and Cambree waiting their turn to bowl.
I think this little girl beat me...everyone did actually.
I just bowl for fun. In fact, I had better luck when I turned around backward and rolled the ball between my legs.



Tyler, Ciera (soon to be sister-in-law), Steele, Amanda, B-Kate, Me, Beckam, Jason


I put these pics in backward- dang it! But Steele showed up from D.C. with a hot new look...check it out.




All of us freaked out at the sight of him...except his fiance...she just oooh's and ahhhh's at him no matter what.


preparing the Pumpkin bars for Thanksgiving Day...



Dipping graham crackers in milk is one of my favorites...and now it's theirs too! It makes a huge mess but it's tasty!
