Thanksgiving 2008

As we sat all around our Thanksgiving table Rachel summed it up well when she said, "This is the best Thanksgiving ever!". We enjoyed a wonderful visit with Grandad for several days before Thanksgiving. He had fun reading to the children and Carson loved to sit in Grandad's lap and play with 'forbidden fruit' up on the countertop (literally, the fruit bowl). Uncle Pete and Aunt Jen joined us for Thanksgiving weekend and had lots of fun playing grocery store and playing 'Old McDonalds' with Rachel (this is what she calls McDonalds). Turned out to be a fun week for all, despite the colds that Rachel and Carson developed.

The last two photos below were taken after Thanksgiving, but seemed worthy of posting. One is Rachel all dressed up in outdoor gear, and her princess high-heel shoes, complete with sunglesses. She has a wonderful imagination! The last photo is Rachel and Carson playing with their indoor fire truck, a toy they both love but rarely do they sit on it amicably together. A rare moment captured on camera!
