Thanksgiving

Thursday we had a great afternoon in Fort Wayne with Joe's side of the family at Steve and Sue's. I wish I had gotten my camera out to actually take some pictures there! We had a full house at our house on Friday for Thanksgiving. Dad and Grandma & Grandpa came down from Fort Wayne and Kirstin and Nathan came up for the weekend from Atlanta. It worked out great. Everyone pitched in for food and it was all wonderful! Good enough we are still even eating the leftovers!! MMmmmm... We even got to Skype with the Drakes in Colorado... despite a few problems with the microphone it was still great to "see" them! :) I definitely have a lot of things to be thankful for this year. Here are a few pics from the afternoon.

Kirstin and Nathan brought Marley (their dog) so this is where Parker spent the weekend hiding in our bathroom....

Joe has been working on the Christmas lights. Its fun to finally have a house to put things up in and decorate! So far we are only the second house in the neighborhood to have any colored lights up.... hopefully the neighbors don't all think it looks tacky! Joe's been up on the roof multiple times now which seems to be scaring all of our older neighbors. They have come over a few times to help "hold the ladder" once they see him up there. This weekend I was on the driveway while Joe was climbing up there to hang the wreath and I heard the older lady across the street come out her front door and yell to her husband, "Jaaaaackkkk... he's on the roof again!!!". LOL... at least they are watching out for him.
