Thankful

We are very blessed with a great family and extended family. Holiday time and family are very important to us, and when Geoff and I got married we decided we would switch off having Thanksgiving with our families every year. So this year, was our California year and we had a great time. We missed all of Oregon cousins, but will be with them next year. This year Grandma Ganne and Paka hosted and it was fun for all. There were all kinds of crafts for the kiddos and yummy food.

 We had visitors from China, and Yi is pre-school teacher so she made Allison a special crown

At the end of the celebration, the kids did a play for us. It ended up turning into a talent show, since they couldn't agree on a script. While the older kids were deciding the script, Paige said heck with this, I will just perform for everyone on my own, and she put on quite the show. Once the older ones figured it out, they had fun performing for us too!!

We will love to look back on these memories for years to come. I still remember details of having plays, sliding down the stairs, dressing up, and all kinds of crazy fun stuff we did every year and Grandma Rosie and Grandpa Ron's for Thanksgiving with my cousins. We are truly blessed!!
