the Thanksgiving Feast

We've been so spoiled in having my parents come out about every month from California to join in on festivities and family time. With most of her kids in Utah now, my mom might as well find a house out here...now we just need to get my brother in Philly to move out west. :)

I think they're both doing my job while I wouldn't stop taking photos :)

while the women cooked, Dad entertained the kids

instead of football, everyone played a round of hockey in Tony's cul-de-sac

Malinda made these adorable Pilgrim and Indian hats

Kathleen's been documenting all the family festivities with her new camera/video camera. Now I know what I look like, hiding behind the camera all the time. :)
