Thanksgiving and beyond

We have a tradition of breakfast with George's family on Thanksgiving, which frees up everyone for dinner with in-laws.

 Getting a picture of the kids is always an adventure.
Carter, our youngest nephew, was having trouble keeping still...

 ...And, of course, Thomas rarely sits still for pictures...

 but we did get a couple cut ones!

The kids had fun in Bev's playroom

Melina worked late the night before and slept most of the morning

 George and his sisters Marie and Bev

...and with spouses

 Time to go home for Carter's nap!

We stayed at the Wilson's and had a great time

 We even did a little black Friday shopping...

 ...although I did leave them there and go back to bed!

Packing up to go home...

Thanksgiving 2010

We drove down to the Bay area for Thanksgiving.

Our friends Mike and Teresa (who we usually stay with) went to Arizona, but left us their house to stay in.

Thursday morning we had breakfast with George's parents and sisters at George's sister Bev's house.

Our nephew, Carter, (Marie and Robert's son) is much bigger this year, and walking!

Thomas and James played video games with Drew, then everyone played hide and seek.

Drew and Alyssa are getting big too!

After we left Bev's house we went to have dinner at our old church with Pastor Gene, Susan, Ruth, Yohn, and others.

We played volleyball and had a great time, it was good to see everyone again!

Friday we visited with my Uncle Gary and Aunt Geraldine, who we hadn't seen in a couple years.

We went to the park and Geraldine played Lava tag with the kids.
