Thanksgiving 2012

I am so mad at myself for not assigning the camera to someone for thanksgiving this year. I know before hand that I get caught up in the madness of trying to get everything ready to serve and people taken care of to worry about taking pictures so I need to give that job to someone else.  And this was our first year of having Morgan with us!! We did have a big group of about 30 people this year.  At first I thought it was just going to be our family with both sets of grandparents, Morgan, Dave, and Don and Jill's family.  But it turned out that Dale and Anita's family and Anita's mother and Darin and Sunny's family and the Shaw kids came as well.  We had two turkeys. I made one and so did mom and dad.  We both brined them again this year and everyone loved them.  We had lots of side dishes and WAY too many pies!! We will be cutting down on that next year.  Morgan and Ethan and Dave enjoyed the new indoor basketball game we bought from Costco the night before. And the kids just enjoyed being together and playing. I am sooooooo bummed I didn't get any pictures of any of this!!

I think Ellie got all the skill with the picture taking. I always forget too! You are amazing to take that on and lived to tell about it. I am too stressed to have to host that kind of gathering. I need to take a page from mom and just not worry about it and enjoy it but alas that is not in my genetics (but I guess it is!) Thanks for having my girlie and she enjoyed the hug you gave her! You have to force those on that girl!
