Thanksgivng 2008

Thanksgiving! This year we had the big Deming/Bell Thanksgiving in Eugene. It was full of both fun and frustrations more fun than frustrating. Some of the fun things that happened was of course seeing everyone again. Having all the Bells there brought back all the fun memories we had in Colorado! We also had fun spending the whole week eating dinner with the Bells! I felt a little guilty showing up everynight but they insisted that we come; so we did and it was wonderful not to cook dinner for a whole week. Thanksgiving day was a lot of fun thanks to Marie. She of course went all out. She made a Thanksgiving tree where we all wrote what we were most grateful for, she had dressup clothes for the little girls, magic tricks for the little boys, and even dress up for the big boys (Steve, Patrick, and Kevin). The big boys were a hit. Seeing them dress in Jim's old 70's clothes was hillarious. It was something that will always bring a smile to my face. Now for some of the frustrations. Poor Steve. He had the worst luck. He hit a curb and blew out his tire in his car and had to replace it. And then he borrowed his van to Bryce and Katie and it got broken into. A brand new laptop and carseat was stolen. He spent a lot of time trying to find someone that could fix the window and get it back to Portland before Kelly and kids flew in from Arizona. They didn't realize the carseat was stolen until they got to the airport and one kid was without a carseat. Poor Steve and Kelly...
But overall Thanksgiving was good.

Lanie even played dress up! She usually isn't into this type of thing.

Pat in those clothes remind me of the talent show we had for a combined YM/YW activity where our husbands dressed in 70's clothes and did a little dance routine to 'Dancin' Queen' with the King boys and Raphael! Do you remember that? Memories...
