Thanksgiving

We were lucky enough to have Kirks parents and brother come for Thanksgiving this year.  They drove up on Wednesday and left on Monday.  Kirk's brother Connor is still here and will be staying with us for a couple of weeks until we go back to Utah for Christmas. 

Thursday Kirk and his dad went fishing.  It was really foggy and cold here all day but they had a sunny day on the lake.  We had a yummy steak-mashed potatoes-broccoli-stuffing dinner.  I made a pumpkin cheesecake with some help from Connor and Tom.  It turned out really good and was a pretty simple dinner to make. 

Friday was really foggy and cold again.  We all did some shopping here and there and played at home.  We set up our Christmas tree and stuff.  Lisa also helped me make a frame for a playhouse out of pvc pipe.  She had leftover from a sprinkler system and it was fun to make.  Now for the sewing. . .

Our tree is on a table this year. . .

Saturday was less foggy and cold.  Kirk and Tom went shooting and then Kirk, Tom, Connor and I went golfing in the afternoon.  It was my second time ever on a course.  I am pretty terrible, but it was fun and nobody else was out there, so it didn't matter that half my balls were on another fairway or that I putted it 5 times!  My goal was to get less than double par and I actually did it on 7/9 holes.  It was fun. 

Sunday was church and more playing and relaxing.  Kirk's other brother spent the holiday with his in-laws in Idaho and came back to have dinner with us.  Monday they got up and left.  We had a lot of fun and I love having visitors here!  Lisa helps a lot with dishes and playing with kids.  Tom had a lot of fun playing with them too.  We'll be with them again in a few weeks!

Cami absolutely LOVES Skeeter.  He is very patient.
