Thanksgiving

Here are a TON of shots from our family Thanksgiving. Matt flew home, so it was really great to see him. It was nice to spend the whole day with my family instead of just showing up after getting done working...so I was really thankful for that! :)


Dean and I were getting a few last things ready.




Amanda and Dan bonded on the couch before we ate :)




"Dean the chef" was in charge of watching the things in the oven :)





but pretty soon we had everybody helping




Dad did the lefse as he is Norweigan




Jon kept Dan from "helping" too much ;)




Amanda was practicing her baby holding skills on a less than cooperative Bella :)




Jon & Amanda




After dinner Dad did the dishes...don't worry though...we pitched in as soon as this photo was taken!




look out...this could happen to you...if you eat too much turkey & drink too much beer!!!




see...we didn't just goof off...we helped too!




mom, dad, and me :)




The next few photos depict the famous "TURKEY COMA"














after the turkey coma wore off...we all went in the hot tub...Don't worry, I only stayed in for 10 minutes!!!

It was a great day of family time...just too bad Heidi & Aaron couldn't have been here too!

I love all your pictures. It's nice to see my Rubis family enjoying their holiday. :)

I LOVE how long your hair is! I'm also diggin' Dean's new facial fur. ;)

Ah, the turkey coma. I had to sleep one of those off, too!

Looks like a great day. Your last *grown-ups only* Thanksgiving!!
