the family

We always celebrate Thanksgiving at my parent's house. We usually end up watching movies like The Crawling Eye or King Kong but this time we got to watch The Princess Bride. Finn and Calvin were glued to the tube watching the sword fighting and the MGM lion roaring at the beginning. Grandpa Billy once let them watch the lion roar over and over and over...

Cousin Jared, the Cardiologist--No lie!
Jared's wife June(also a doctor) and their adorable son Luke

The twins--Jamie and Hayley. They always look this cute.

Jamie with her hubby Nate

Hayley and Nick, the newlyweds

Uncle Pat hanging out with Nick

Aunt Nanie and mom, 2 Jewish sisters
-well, now they are Christian, but the Jewish blood still runs strong. Jewish moms are properly neurotic, constantly bundling up their kids and obsessing over their eating habits. I'm convinced that's where I get it from.
Me and Ollie. What, no hat for Ollie?? I guess I'm finally mellowing out.

Finny and daddy. This is the 1st picture of John on my blog.

Daddy and Ollie

Finny with his Auntie Lindsay.
We celebrated Lindsay's birthday that night. Traditionally, Lindsay makes her own cake because mom is so busy cooking turkey, but this time Hayley made cupcakes. Happy Birthday Lin!
Dad and Lindsay

The boys love their "Gah-gum Del "

Finny and Calvin played with the almonds and walnuts all night.

Last, but not least, dad

This is for you Jess! My sister Jessica, her husband Steve and their 4 girls (Tacy, Emily, Kate and Ansley) live out of state. You were missed!
email me! i love you more than broccoli.
