We all had much to be thankful for this year, and our annual go-around-the-table-and-share-what-your-thankful-for was lively as usual. The table time in general was a highlight -- the food was "good-lickin'" as Pete's grandmother apparently used to say. Everyone pitched in with their special dishes.
Getting ready to sit down:
Cole and Sam took notes on how to carve the turkey:

We actually saw some wild turkeys on the property...
...but when they heard what we were having for dinner, they didn't stick around to chat!
Other highlights, besides the turkey dinner, from this trip included:
walks around the property, many, many visits to the gameroom (air hockey, ping pong and foosball tournaments!), multiple sports/games (football, basketball, soccer, tennis), indoor crafts and sing-alongs, and family games. "Three on a couch" was a big hit (girls rule, guys drool!), as was the ever-popular Bowl game and Imaginiff.
One of the not-so-high-lights for Pete and me, though, was the fact that Miles refused to sleep at this place, unless he was being held, and even then it was iffy. We asked him if his teeth hurt, or his ear hurt, or what. He didn't answer us, though.. When Colsen popped in 4 or 5 times to our Full-size bed, the 4 of us all "enjoyed" some cozy, albeit mostly sleepless time.
Oh well, the days were fun anyway!
