Thanksgiving Day 2006

We hosted three other missionary famlies at our home for Thanksgiving Day. This is a picture of our 37 pound turkey. Yes, 37 pounds... the biggest turkey any of us had ever seen. It's not that common to roast a whole turkey so we had to special order it. The ranges you can order in are 9 kilos and smaller or 13 kilos and larger. We didn't think 9 would be enough so we ordered a 13 kilo bird. When we went to pick it up, they had a 17 kilo bird for us which is 37 pounds! It barely fit in the oven and it took two of us to lift it out! We will be eating turkey until Christmas!

Show Time!

Here are Caroline and the Great Mario. We don't know where the names came from but Abby wrote the script! This is the Amazing Star Magic Show. It was very entertaining to say the least!

Feeling better!

The girls are all feeling better. We have had a week of ballet and magic shows in our house. Here they are dancing for the camera.

Kids program at SC Retreat

Here's our kids doing a musical program at the SC Retreat a week ago. It was a Lifeway musical based on NASCAR. Lydia was really excited!

And then it snowed!

We put a picture here on the 2nd and then we were in Warsaw for several days. When we returned, it looked like this! It has snowed about a foot in the last few days. It has compacted down and melted a bit so it looks like 8 inches now. Still, it is a great deal of snow for so early in the year. It didn't snow like this until January last year.

November 2nd, SNOW!

This is behind our home, the first snow of the year.
