November, Thanksgiving

Jason and Karla arrived in time to celebrate the November birthdays.

Ruth turned 11 with an ice cream cake and Steven turned 17 with

peppermint supreme.

I know there are some of you out there saying, "We never

even got to use play guns, what's up with this?"

Yes, OK that is sort of true and yes that is Drew with a real gun!

Ty Saunders was home for Thanksgiving and brought some of his

weapons with him. This is Steven shooting Ryan's shotgun.

Jason shooting.

Ty helping Andrew shoot.

Lots of cooking going on here.

We had a contest as to who could make the best pizza.

I think Karla won!

On family night we had a rousing poker game.

Andrew really took the game seriously and it paid off

because he won!

Nothing like being beat by the nine year old!!

The boys spent a lot of time bonding playing

the gaming system which Jason brought with him in

his packpack!

McCain made a surprise appearance.

Cooking the pies.

Church had a Turkey Bowl Game.

Maclennans. These are the ice cliffs behind them.

A trip to their new house to check the progress.

Maclennans came down to Durango for an after Thanksgiving

dinner and a marathon risk game.
