PiCtUrEs!!!

Here are some of the latest... My dear sister-in-law, Aubrey, took us out for a few quick shots. She is so talented! Thanks Aub!

Camping!

We went camping with Darren and Danielle in Island Park on her Grandpa's property. Some of her other family was there too so we had a great time eating lots of yummy food and laughing around the camp fire. We brought our bikes and did a little riding in between the rain. So fun!

Cooley Thanksgiving

This year we had such a wonderful Thanksgiving! We went to the Cooley house where we ended up having almost 30 people together. How fun! Annette worked really hard and made us a wonderful feast! She did turkey and dressing (that's Kevin's favorite part) and potatoes and several salads. Julie brought ham and and Linda and Jana brought pies and salads and don't forget the finishing touch: Geraldine's rolls! Man were we stuffed! I asked Annette what I could do to help and she must know all about my cooking abilities because she asked me to bring decorations. Haha! Just kidding... But that's what I brought anyway. I was quite pleased with how they turned out.

This is Connor. He's the newest addition to the Cooley Family. He sure looks like a Cooley! Can't take his eyes off the game.... Haha! He fits right in!

Rizor Thanksgiving

We were lucky enough this year to be able to enjoy Thanksgiving with both families. So, after we had the first dinner with Kevin's family, we went and had a second one with my family.

Jake and Rachael were supposed to come too but the stupid snow changed their plans...

This is the very first time ever that my dad bought and cooked a turkey. Like all things he does, it's "Go BiG or gO hOmE!" For his first turkey dinner he de-boned the turkey and then made a roll with the boneless turkey and his special homemade stuffing. Oh my! It was so fantastic!

He also make homemade apple pie... YuMmY! It was the best pie he's ever made. 

By the end of dinner, we were so full we needed to roll back to the car. Oh man! It was so wonderful. We had such a wonderful day!
