Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I love this picture Tyler drew a few days ago. Which reminds me - I had the most brilliant idea. You know how kids want to keep
all their artwork but we don't because there isn't enough room to store it all? Well why not scan them and keep a digital copy instead? Im going to start doing that.
Our day started with Dave and Spencer playing in the turkey bowl (in which all the men from church get together to play football) while I iced Brennan's birthday cake and cooked Martha Stewart's glazed sweet potatoes - yum!
This was Brennan's best birthday ever - ok, so he's only had 3 of them, but this year he got to have a regular cake with flour and eggs and everything.
We headed down to my parents' house after lunch. Levi got to meet his uncle Ben, who is home visiting from Berkeley.
Grandpa even got up early for the day's activities.
Ellen is knitting this gorgeous hooded sweater. She's almost done - just sewing it together now.
Of course there was plenty of game playing...
But we had to send them outside so we could set the table.
Classic!
Mom makes Thanksgiving dinner look easy. Everything was scruptious.
22 for dinner - that's one long table! Actually it's 4 tables put together.
Then on to Brennan's birthday. I didn't realize they were trick candles until they all lit up again. That was fun.
Brennan loves swords. These are reinforced foam, so he won't hurt his brothers too bad.
I love Jacob's face in this picture!
Awesome reversible cape and hat from grandma and grandpa. Batman on one side...
Spiderman on the other. It was such a fun day we had a hard time leaving. We got home around 10:30 with 4 out of 5 kids asleep in the car.

It looks like you guys had a fun time. We can't wait to be there for Christmas--so many of our favorite people all together in one place. -Aaron
I think that Jacob loves dress ups as much as Brennan does. He was pretty excited for him. It was a great day!
