Thanksgiving............

This year for Thanksgiving, Jim and I picked up Kyle, and Kimber from Cedar and headed south to AZ. Here we are in Mesquite looking for a Geo Cache. We never did find it. But found one across the freeway. It sure helps to get out and stretch .
It was exciting to see the progress on the bridge at Hoover Dam. Kimber and I still don't know if we want to travel across it when it is finished. It is so high!!!

Sorry this picture is out of place, but after dinner, they cleaned off the table and WAALA there was a pool table.
Kyle and Brennon challenged each other. As well as a few others. You will see Brennon further down the blog.

In the morning, after Chris, Wylene and Gentry went and participated in the Turkey Trot at the park and Chris played football, they came home and watched the parade and football game . I had printed out a bingo for both and the kids had fun filling out the bingo's and picking out their candy from a bagful I brought.

Then we headed for Queen Creek, where Wylene's Mom and uncles live. That is where we had dinner. Out on the patio we found "the bird" that Chris's family used to have. Colt, do your remember this little guy who say's "Hey Birdie". He still says it, Chris said, " Don't get him started."

Wylene has a tradition of making a cornucopia out of bread and filling it with lots of yummy vegtables. She followed through this year, and we all nibbled on it until dinner was ready.
Here is the other picture of Brennon playing pool. I wanted them both after the pictures of the dinner, but couldn't drag them there. Sorry.

Here are the guys giving a toast for all they are thankful for. Notice they are all in shades of black. Not planned!
Jim, Kyle, Chris , Shawn, (wylene's bro), Brennon, Camden (shawn's son)
Courtney and Kimber had their own toast.

Courtney, what big eyes you have!!


Kimber, what a cute smile you have!!!!


Wylene has been doing a lot of cake's for people and this is one she made for a girl's birthday. You rock girl!
She even made the decorations from sugar and made her own fondant from marshmellows and powdered sugar. That girl is talented!!!

Here is Kyle on one of those tiny motorcycles. He and Brennon were working on it trying to get it fixed up.
All in all we had a great Thanksgiving. The food was so yummy and the company some of the best. What more could you ask for.
