Nothing I will write here will do justice to the wonderful Thanksgiving I had. My whole family (including Cecilie this time, she was a little bitter about being left out of the 4th of July happenings) came out to AZ to be together! How I just love family!
Eric and Jen are amazing hosts’ and I’m a little bit jealous that the Hoffman’s are going out there for Christmas or I might figure out how to go out there again… They treated us to everything wonderful in the desert.
To avoid boring anybody (but you did choose to read this post) so I’ll summarize the high points in no particular order:
-Dad making a car for Parker and Caleb
-playing hand and foot (Jen’s favorite game and she converted me, thanks Jen!) until wee hours of the night (except normal hours for a college student)
-Parker, Caleb, and Maren all of whom are always cute even when they are giving attitude. They loved playing with the cell phones and I took a picture where they all have a phone and are playing with them, thank goodness for technology right?
-Ostrich Farm and the crazy redneck girl who drove the monster truck and told us we were going through the “Grand Canyon” when it was really just a really big ditch…
-Desert Museum, I LOVE Arizona’s landscape and we saw a beautiful cloudy sky and green vista – BREATHTAKING!
-Eric’s delectable Thanksgiving dinner, he’s an amazing cook. No thanks to me when every dish I attempted to make was a disaster. I forgot to put the whipped cream in the pumpkin custard pie, I didn’t cook the rice completely in the Jambalaya, tripling the recipe for cornbread stuffing which was WAY too dry, I can’t remember the others but I KNOW there were more mishaps…
-cute family pictures for the Bain family, doesn’t happen all that often that the general concensus is that we like them
-being with family: priceless. I love you all!
yes Jake, I got all of these pictures from your facebook album. You just take way too amazing of pictures to not appreciate them!

Okay, they’re pretty cute. Mostly because it’s my family too:) I am jealous that you got to be with Jen and Eric. But I went to texas instead… which was fabulous.
