Lots of Family Love

We spent Thanksgiving at Marshall's and Shannon's. What a fun thing for me to only have to make a few sides for dinner. And Marshall and Shannon, you did a great job. It truly was a Thanksgiving feast.

Chad : I'm not sure he is using the right side
of the knife!!Marshall carves his first turkey

Oh, please, I pray, that Marshall won't cut
off a finger. He is using the right side of
the knife.Marshall and Shannon were the perfect hosts.
We had a great time with Shannon's brother and
with Chad, Meigan and Drake. (Oh, the bottles
had sparkling grape juice in them!)

Drake wanted spaghetti for Thanksgiving dinner.
Look at that face.

Meigan eats our great Thanksgiving feast
while Drake eats his spaghetti.

After dinner, we all sat down and watched the
Dallas Cowboys. Ok, so we lost; but I am
still thankful for the Cowboys.

Drake loves his Papa. Marshall is watching the
game and Shannon is asleep. Don't blame her;
it was a game to sleep through.

And now, how grateful we are for sweet
Isabella. Her smile and giggle make my
day when I am running low on happiness.

What a smile and how about those cheeksGabi loves being with Isabella. It was
matching pajama night.

Isabella absolutely loves her Aunt Shannon
(don't you just love Isabella's gut--a sign
of contentment)

Fun time with the cousins

Gabi thinks Isabella is so funny

Kyle is a fantastic photographer, but this
is what he does when my camera comes out

Isabella loves the Christmas tree

...and she loves puppies, too!

Every Grandma lets their grandchildren help
decorate the tree.

The joy and laughter of Isabella...I love
every minute of it.

Isabella loves the "toys" on the tree

Lots of video fun for Grandma

I could listen to her laugh all day.

One last giggle.
