Thanksgiving '08

This year we went down to Boise to be with my brother Courtney and his wife Paige and my sister Kathy and her husband Bryan. We just saw them all last weekend but it's still fun to get together. It's nice that Courtney and Paige have moved so close because the kids have more fun here since they have kids and all. Kathy's son, Dane, was here also which was kind of a treat. He's old and a world traveler now so sometimes it's hard to pin him down. Maybe when he gets married we'll see him more.
Here was the spread. Kathy did the turkey, yams, and artichoke dip. She brined the turkey and then did the 2 hour method. Best turkey ever! Even Devin and Autumn liked it. I did the stuffing, cranberries, and (Winco) rolls. Everyone made pie of course. We still have an uncut pumpkin pie. I'm sure we'll find a way to finish off though. I have to say this was the best Thanksgiving meal I've had in years. Everything tasted great and we had a great time as a family.

This has been Devin's look all weekend. Guess he's cold?



This has been the entertainment. With 4 laptops running around and most of them in use most of the time. Aww yes, good old fashioned family fun.


Siri and Cousin Dane. That seems to be his first given name, Cousin Dane.



Siri and Cousin Dane. He is always the highlight of her trip whenever he shows up. They love each other so much and he is so great with her. Won't she be devistated if he ever gets married and has a kid he likes more.
