family traditions...

last year when we were in ohio we talked about doing a gingerbread house every year with kennedy. of course last year she was too young, but this year was a whole new story. ;-)

the finished product!

here is to many more years of house making!

Turkey day!

we had our annual photo shoot on thanksgiving. this year we all wore white shirts with denim. i have decided this is a great tradition, seeing as though any other time of year, family pictures don't seem too important.

marci, rebekah and robbie

thomas, me and kennedy

this picture was one of the best ones of just us. kennedy was not exactly cooperative so we had to settle.

thomas' mom came and stayed with us for thanksgiving. this was her first time meeting my family and i think it all went down without a hitch.
