This year Bryan and I flew to KC to spend Thanksgiving with the the Garber gang...we had many great times and lots of good memories were made...
Wednesday evening entertainment included Ellen and Sophia taking turns on the bouncy pig. I think it was a winner Mom!
Thanksgiving morning we continued our new-as-of-2008 every-other-year tradition of running the 5k Turkey Trot at the Sprint Center. I should say "participated." Some of us ran, some jogged, some walked, and some rode...but everyone finished despite the bitter cold!

The meal was delicious (all of them were, actually!), and clean-up wasn't too bad with all those helpers!
 |
| Ellen is cutting...with a Donald Duck butter knife! |
Bryan got a little time in with the cute neices...
And the iPad turned out to be a big hit!
 |
| I'm not sure who was enjoying themself more... |
Friday afternoon "the kids" went shopping, followed by dinner on the Plaza. The whole thing was a blast, but one of my favorite adventures was finding a spot in the parking garage. We circled and circled and tried following people to their cars before we discovered a whole additional level with several open spaces. Driver Tim handled the 6 back-seat drivers all shouting instructions like a champ!

| Ready to go |
 |
| Looking good from head... |

| ...to toe! |

To top off the weekend, Bryan split some wood for Mom and Dad - nice job Babe!
We have wonderful family, and are looking forward to seeing even more of it over Christmas!
