Thanksgiving

Now that it's December, I thought I'd give an update on our Thanksgiving. Timely, huh? Heh, it was only a week ago. Seth, Ella and I hosted dinner at our house and invited my mom and dad, brother Zac & his fiance Kristen (getting married New Year's Eve!), and Kristen's family..... Mom & Dad (Ruth & Tom) and her sister Kellie with her boyfriend Brett and her daughter Abby. Also, my Aunt Hazel made it as well. it was a full house, but we made it work and I think everyone had a good time. Lots of food of course. Abby was my hero of the day because she was a trooper putting up with our bossy daughter. Ella absolutely loves Abby and kept her prisoner in her room most of the afternoon.

our best attempt at a family photo - wish us luck on a Christmas card

Cute Abby smiling for the camera - Ella was not taking notes from her......lately we get shaking of the head when the camera comes out.
