Thanksgiving Week-end

We had a great Thanksgiving, but missed Chad & Jenny, (Chad had to work Black Friday of course), and John, who didn't quite have enough vacation days. (or so he said) Ha ha! We hope we can all get together next summer!
Jayden says, "It's great to be back in Minot!" We're glad you're here too.
Jeni & Jill shared some sister bonding time while baking the delicious pumpkin & apple pies! Hope you baked one for hubby John when you got home Jill.
"I made these turkey cookies just for you Jerry!"
Dawn & Jeni share a chillable red "Franzia" moment.
Family times always include watching Claire do tricks!
It's a fact! Turkey really does make you sleepy! We'll be sure to wake you up in time for the next meal.
Cole snaps a picture of Jerry's favorite fish. He sure loves that camera!
Cole shares a special moment with Auntie Jill.
Jill finally got the wishbone after all these years! I knew she wouldn't make Cole feel bad!
Nathan shows Cole how to make his famous leftover turkey pizza with turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. Yum!
You're really passing up Thanksgiving leftovers for Taco Johns? Candace, you're a bad influence on Jill!
Nathan celebrated his 30th birthday less than a week after dad celebrated his 80th!
Richards dream of having his picture taken with Wally the Walleye was finally fulfilled!
Ready to board the Queen Elizibus, a double-decker bus from England.
Here we go!
We toured Fort Stevenson after the bumpy ride on the bus.
A Bell Choir from Minot entertained us while we sipped our cappuccino.
Dad got chosen to ring the jingle bells while the Bell Choir performed. They must have heard him play the piano!
We drove home through a snowstorm, and were driving to the Speedway, when what sounded like an explosion occured. We looked back, and the entire back window frame was bent, and glass completely shattered. Richard just "happened" to be driving! GM said those things just sometimes happen!!

I still love you Rich, even after blowing out two windows on my suburban in two years. Brothers have to stick together no matter what. It was still a great Thanksgiving week-end!
