Thanksgiving

Warning: This is kind of like a journal entry so it might not be so interesting.

For Thanksgiving we went down to my Mom and Dad's Bed and Breakfast. It is great when Mom blocks off the dates and we can have the whole place to ourselves, all 7 of my siblings, and some extra's. Everyone showed this year!!! I'm kicking myself for not getting a family picture. So here are some that I do have.

O always get car sick, but she does choose the best places to loose her Thanksgiving meal. And thankfully there were plenty of scenic pull outs. Poor girl also got her finger smashed under the tractor bucket. By Christmas she will only have a couple finger nails on her left hand (the hand she writes with). Yesterday she told me she was going to start writing with her right hand because her left was hurting so bad. We won't name which Auntie was driving the tractor at the time...A*%#l!!! Really who else would try to drive it? Here is O looking quite pale.

Edward and Bella in the trees looking for the best Christmas tree.
My Dad is actually improving. I don't know what to think of it other than, prayers are answered. The little girls have been praying for "pa to walk again." Lets hope they don't pray for him to drive again. In this picture: Fischer holding Mem. Maia turned sideways. Left to right Mom, Dad, Me, Kim, and Jeff. Dad hasn't walked since July when he became bed ridden. He just started to stand up and Adam and Mom have let him take some steps. The scare is always that he will fall and break something so we still have to be really careful. Mentally he is still pretty out of it. He gets really serious sometimes so you want to believe him but then he says something crazy. It was so nice to see him in normal clothes and out of a bed even if he didn't know what we were doing.
Little Rachie holding Mem. We never get to see Rachel enough because they live in Arizona. She is a baby lover and a little sweet heart. I love her glasses. I want her to be mine!!
Adams fiance Kristen. How cute is she. Cuter yet is that Adam is really likes her. I've never seen him like this before! I love love.
More of the craziness. Mom, Mem, Maia, and Quinn.

I love my family. It was such a good time laying around watching UP way too many times! Letting the kids sleep in closets. Listening to Noelle sew all night long! Laugh around breakfast that turned into lunch. Making pizza in the out door oven. Stressing Dylan out with too many orders. Feeding the cows. Cutting down trees. Helping Dad walk again. Letting Seb ride his dirt bike all day while I watched our kids (yeah that's sarcasm on the last one).
