Thanksgiving Pictures

My sister-in-law Jenny is a prolific blogger and photographer, so I'm going to be lazy and just link to her blog for pictures of our Thanksgiving in Sacramento: http://mydaddytalksfunny.blogspot.com/2011/12/happy-thanksgiving.html

Two of Steve's brothers (Edward and Philip) joined us for Thanksgiving with Steve's parents. Ed has three boys and Philip has two, so there was some measure of chaos. However, I thought they were all very well mannered on the whole and we had a good time.

I absolutely love children's toys. Lincoln logs, toy trains & trucks, dinosaurs... that's all you need for a fabulous afternoon. I built some Lincoln logs and played toy trains with nephews Gavin, Colin and Camdan. I'm sure that says something about my maturity level that I'm so easily entertained, but whatever. I can pretend it was quality time with the nephews... even though their participation wasn't really required.

I also helped nephew Jake with a craft project, which was fun. Reminded me of my Camp Fire days.

There's also a picture of Steve putting up the Christmas tree with Philip in this post: http://mydaddytalksfunny.blogspot.com/2011/12/black-friday.html

I didn't used to feel that Steve and Philip looked that much alike, but the resemblance was pretty apparent on this visit. At least Steve has the beard and moustache, so we know which one is the evil twin.
