2008-Thanksgiving weekend- (11-27, 12-01)

David slept the night at G&G's house. He did real well! The next morning G'ma wanted to roast the 20 lb. turkey that day as it was a "free" day to get my preparations done for our dinner(s) on Friday and Saturday due to work schedules. Before preparing the turkey David seemed fascinated with the turkey as you can see...




(Julie and family went to Winona to the Olson family thanksgiving so didn't join us for our dinners.)

The happy couple--not engaged yet!!!!

Saturday afternoon Doug had help from Kari, Brent, and cousin Tim Hagen

to hang the Christmas lights on our house. They made fun doing it.

I was glad as the next day we had snow!
