Thanksgiving 2008

My brother Phil and his family came from upstate NY to spend Thanksgiving with us. We hadn't seen them in about 5 years, so we all were amazed at how big the kids had grown!
Brenda is a year older than Kip, and they get along great, so we trusted them alone at the "kids table".

Junior and Brandon, being 9 and 10, stayed within reach of their Mom & Dad, at the main table.

Phil & Melinda brought us some delicious deer bologna which was excellent sliced on crackers with cheese. Send us some more, guys! I turned Melinda on to some fruity Rhine wine, and together we polished off two big bottles over the course of 3 days. It was a real nice visit, as always, and we can't wait to do it again. Hopefully next spring break we'll make the trip north. Lon said "never in the winter!" because they got like 3 feet of snow up home while they were here. Y'all come again now! :)
