Thanksgiving



For thanksgiving my parents and my sister and her family came to Kansas to spend it with us and see our home for the first time. It was so much fun to be able to see our 18 month old niece Zenobia and spend time with my family. My sister and Zo arrived a couple of days before the rest of the clan, so I took her to the plaza and we went to the melting pot for cheese and chocolate fondue. When my mom and dad and Eugene arrived we attempted to go to the zoo but my car was having problems and brian had to spend most of the day working on it. Instead we went to the mall and ate Jack Stack BBQ. Thanksgiving of course was filled with lots of food and games. We enjoyed dessert with my cousins Matt & Sheila and there two kids, my aunt Shirley and Shawn as well. My sister and her family left on Friday but my parents were able to stay till Tuesday. We had fun with them as we played the new wii they got us for Christmas, got our Christmas tree and decorations set up in our house, and took them to the New Dinner Theatre Restaurant. Oh, and I forgot my mom saw her first 3D movie as we all went to see The Christmas Carol. It was so much fun to have my family here, not to mention all the help my mom and dad gave us with the garage and trying to fix things with Brian. Love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!
These pictures are not actually the Thanksgiving Dinner- my sister took those pictures on her camera. This was an enchilada dinner the night that my whole family was here. We used our special candles- the green ones you can see as they represent the first dinner with family.
Brian and I gave Zenobia her Christmas present because we wanted to watch her open it!
Mom and I decorating the tree. It looks so festive in our home now!





Our cats, Pumba and Timone. Hopefully they don't knock down the tree. This is the first tree they have had in the house.
