Thanksgiving 2008

We spent Thanksgiving Day in Wallsberg, UT at the home of Ralph and Jackie Yarro. Ralph is the brother of my son-in-law Matt. Matt is married to my daughter Colett so we are sort of related. Anyway they include us quite often at holidays and summer outings and we are blessed to be able to do things with them. This day, Thanksgiving was held in their summer home...a beautiful log home that you can get lost in and which they graciously share with others. Ralph is the bishop of a BYU student ward and he had the students that didn't have any place to go for Thanksgiving at this event too.

Colett, Isabelle and the Grandpa that is ALWAYS
surrounded by girls.

Son-in-law Wes. Look at the size of those logs!. The wall behind Wes, not his legs.

Joan and Amelia age 4. She gets her picture taken so often that she has the head tilt pose and
and a plastered on grin. I think it's pretty cute. She usually has her hand on her hip too but we must have caught her off guard.

Emerson, age 15 months and Isabelle almost 8. She is very attentive to Emerson and it gives Amy a little break. We ate all the regular Thanksgiving items and then went home and had leftovers. I always bake a turkey and make stuffing so we can eat for a couple more days. Wayne likes cornbread stuffing and I always like it the way my Mom made it so we compromised and I make a small pan of cornbread and put it in with my regular recipe. Wayne said this year it was perfect. That is a nice way to top off the holiday. Now make way for the lights, colors and sounds of Christmas.
