Day of Thanks 2011

What a wonderful Thanksgiving we celebrated at my parent's home this year.
We went up the night before to spend some time with the Holyoaks.
Some of my favorite parts about this Thanksgiving were:

Our very own Wendy making the delicious stuffing with enough butter and sausage to kill a man.
Good girl. 
Bec near the end of her pregnancy and still looking gorgeous.
 A family fast was held for Mom the week before while she was in excruciating pain.
She was well enough to host and did it with a smile.  
Jen came all the way from Boise with her family after a very difficult week.
I love that she came to be surrounded by the ones who love her most.
 Dad doing dishes.
Always doing dishes. Patiently doing dishes. 
 Miss Maddie Belle's spunk.
 Ter and her baby. 
 The boys enjoying a good laugh.
 Cousins who get together and do their hair alike and dress alike. 
 Cousins who get along so famously.
 Older cousins who love to entertain little cousins.
 Love these two tender hearts.
 Scott and his trifle. One happy man.
 Ging capturing the day beautifully. 
I love pictures of people taking pictures :)
These two diving into the leaf pile that was a bit to shallow for diving.
Jen and I laughed and laughed at them.

Don't forget the awesome scrabble game, nieces and nephews who brought friends, silly singing games, and THE BEST Black Friday shopping. 
Absolutely nothing was purchased, but Jen and I had awesome sister time, laughed ourselves silly, and scored some McDonald's hot chocolate.

A year in Review: Those pictures you never knew I took

I snap a lot of photos. Most of them only I see.
So I thought I'd share some from the year.
