Thanksgiving 2008

We had a great time in Portland visiting with family and celebrating Thanksgiving. It was a quick trip, but definitely worth the drive. We arrived around dinner time on Wednesday and headed back to Whitefish early Sunday morning.
Thanksgiving was lots of fun. We were able to stop by and visit with the Peppmeier side earlier in the day before heading to Marcie and Dennis' home to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner with the McAuliffe side.

Dinner with the McAuliffes was so fun! I heard there were 18 adults and 5 children - I didn't count but there were definitely a lot of us. The boys really enjoyed playing with their cousins. Both Matthew and Ryan have grown so much from the last time we visited.

Ryan, Matthew, Will and Jack at the kids table - what big boys!

Here is our attempt at a kids pictures. No matter how many times we asked Jack to move so we could see him, he wouldn't budge. Also, Ryan liked his sweater so much he didn't want to take it off when he put his pajama pants on. He is such a funny boy!

Thank you to everyone for making our visit so great. We miss you all and look forward to seeing everyone soon!
