Happy Thanksgiving

Ok, so it is the New Year and I have not posted anything for over a month. Well, here goes. I am going to start with Thanksgiving and try to get caught up.
We went to our Vacation home in Idaho for Thanksgiving. We had Joe's family over for dinner, I think around 35 people. I went up a couple of days before Thanksgiving with Cyndi to get the house ready, buy food and prepare food. We had a great time on Thanksgiving eating and playing games and visiting with everyone. The only problem is that I forgot to take pictures as I was so busy playing host. Oh well, we still had a great time.
On Saturday we had the Willis Christmas get together. We have found that the Thanksgiving weekend has worked well for most everyone to get together. We love to keep it as simple as possible, take out sandwiches, relish plates and chips and Grandma's homemade cookies! Yummy! Everyone can't wait for the cookies to come out. We play a game with a $1 gift that is really fun and then we get to open our gift from Grandma. This year all my brothers and sisters got together and got Mom a Wii for her present. We decided to give it to her early so we see her open it. She was so surprised! It was great. The kids set it up right away so they could play it. The picture is of my Mom playing Wii. I think she really likes it.
