Shelby with the finish masterpiece.

Thanksgiving started at 3:30 am stuffing the bird. Thankfully grandma didn't have to pluck feathers or cut the head off. Dinner was at noon. The Evans, Hillers and our niece Erin ( from BYU by way of Portland, Oregon.) It took a lot longer to do dishes, then to devour the meal. But we are very grateful for our family here and away. Chad and Emily are in Louisiana. Chase and Raquel in Ohio. My parents in Mesquite. After the dishes were done and the floors swept (thanks everyone), Great grandma and grandpa Davis made Gingerbread houses for the grand kids to decorate. The kids are very creative and had a great time. We are very grateful for all who share their lives and experiences through their blogs. Friends and family seem closer, and it's great to hear about your life, travels, children and spouses. We love and appreciate all of you.
