Thanksgiving 2007

I know I'm a little late posting about our Thanksgiving Bash:( Everything went off well this year, we hosted our 10th Annual Thanksgiving at our house. At one point in time we had 35 people in our house. We calculated that we fed 25 adults and 5 kids. For the past 10 years we have hosted a pre Thanksgiving Dinner for all of our friends the weekend before the actual Thanksgiving. Below is the picture of most of the group, I believe we are missing about 8 people out of it. Marc was taking the picture and some people showed up a little late.

It was a great time and what made it even more special is our friends Jen, Joe, and Ava were able to make it up from North Carolina. They were in Alaska for about 2 weeks and we had a great time catching up with them. They left Alaska to be closer to family but they just couldn't resist coming back to spend time with all of their Alaska Family.

Then on Actual Thanksgiving Day we headed to Delta to my sister Dawn's house and had a great meal and family time there. My Dad turned 60 on November 12th and we weren't all able to get together for it so we also celebrated his birthday. He seemed to enjoy it and absolutely loved being surrounded by his grand kids as you can tell by the photo.

We have had a lot to be thankful for this year. The three of us are happy and healthy. Also we have managed to live on one income so I can be a stay at home mom! I'm loving it too. This past fall Marc had achieved his goal of becoming the Chief of the Ester Volunteer Fire Department. I'm not sure if he expected it to happen this soon but he has a seemed to enjoy it so far.

Until next time, ta ta for now!
