Thanksgiving 2008

We spent a week up at our cabin. The week started with work. Don's brother came up and we water sealed the cabin. I then started trimming the forest and had a great time getting rid of some of the dead trees and the low hanging branches. I actually had a great time cleaning up our "new" vacation home. Oh, did I mentioned that Don and Ron fished and kept bringing home more trout than we knew what to do with. It was almost Turkey Trout Weekend. Ron and his boys left and Don and I had a few days on our own.

Steve Deb and Adam came up for Thanksgiving. Laurel also drove up . We have been sharing Thanksgiving at the cabin with Steve and Deb for years. I love traditions and I certainly love this one. So check us out below. The picture on the left is our traditional picture and the one on the right is everyone just having fun.

Jess suggested that we connect with them in Oregon by making gingerbread houses at the cabin and they did the same at their house. So, here are the Chocolate Gingerbread Houses made by Laurel, Adam and Me. Aren't they great? I'm hoping that Jess took some pictures of hers and posts them on her blog.

Here Debbie and I are enjoying our vino before Thanksgiving dinner. A toast to a great family Thanksgiving. I hope yours was great too.
