Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year, we were lucky to have Dave and Liz and their cute girl Olivia come and stay with us for the week.  They flew in Sunday and stayed with us until Friday.  We had fun with Dave and Liz, and went shopping to the outlets and out to Multnomah Falls with them. 

   

My dad came and joined us from Ashland on Tuesday, and Camille and Bryce, my mom, Avery and new baby Dallin came Tuesday evening.  Dallin was born the week before, so we weren’t sure what Camille would want to do for Thanksgiving, but she decided she wanted to get out of the house and come and join us too.  Dallin was a hit with the boys.  They all liked to lie by him on the floor, and entertain him with their doggies.  Olivia and Avery were pretty popular too!

           

Wednesday, we went to OMSI.  The little kids had fun in the preschool play area while I took Landon and Davis around some of the rest of the museum. 

 

Our Thanksgiving dinner was delicious as always.  It’s never bad to make the dinner when you have so many helpers on hand!

     

After dinner, we played some Sorry and did a little planning for shopping.

 

Thursday night and Friday morning, we of course did a little Black Friday shopping, finding a few good deals while we were out.  We only had one strange incident when the cashier zoned out on me and Liz for a couple of minutes, but he finally came to and got us what we needed.

It was a fun holiday.  This was our first year hosting a Morris Thanksgiving; we hope we get to do it again!
