Happy Thanksgiving everyone. And welcome to the holiday season. On Thursday the whole family went to Knott's Berry Farm to celebrate Christmas. I know, it's a little early but everyone was in town. We started this last year in lieu of gifts. We thought is was better to spend money to BE together rather than for more stuff, which we just have too much of. Last year was great. We went the Saturday before Christmas and the park was almost empty. We thought Thanksgiving would be quiet too, what with all the people home eating turkey. We were wrong. But, since we had all the little ones with us, we spent most of the day in Camp Snoopy which was more than doable. Some highlights:

On Friday we had our Thanksgiving feast which was just lovely. Brent made another amazing turkey with all the goodies to go with it.
Auntie Laura was rescued (see the oct 16, 07 entry). My brother sacrificed his sweet little girl's arm to the itchy insulated depths of our wall. Abby got hold of the doll, but quickly released it. Once we knew where it was, Darrin enlisted the use of his wife's delicate little hands to reach in and rescue the doll. Reunited and it feels so good.
And now the tree is up, the dog is chewing it to pieces, and we are looking forward to celebrating the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. I wish you all a fantastic (low stress) holiday season.

All I want to know is HOW in the world did you get all the kids to look at the camera and smile at the same time. What a great family photo. Pictures that good are rare. Looks like you had fun. I heard Disneyland was packed on Thanksgiving Day too. Must be the new trend to go to a theme park for holidays.
It took a few shots to get that one. Then we tried one with just grandma and the grandkids. No such luck.
