Early on Thanksgiving morning all the boys get the fire started....Dutch oven turkey is the BEST!

 Ella trying out the frosting in a can....

 Cam making his oreo cookie turkey....

 Talya finished hers...

 Dinner time

 This is the last of the apple pies that we had in the freezer from summer before last.  We are sure hoping we have a good fruit year next year....

 We caught little Talya sneaking the whipped cream for a little treat...hee hee....

 Michon and family have two new little puppies--they are really cute, but so tiny...this is Natty with Naia.

 This one is Bouregaard--Bo for short.

 Mister Man after an early morning run....this is about all the expression we could get out of him....it must be the altitude....

 All the kiddos in front of the Christmas tree...it used to be that we could see the tree behind them...now they are growing up so much.....

 We thought for sure that when we put the train away last year that we'd never get it to run again.  There were some wires that had come apart and we didn't think there was any way we could get the tiny little things back together.  Grandpa, Cam and Uncle Ty worked with it for a few minutes with a solder gun and ---sure enough---the train lives on.....yea!
