Our Thanksgiving this year was spent with Dad's Uncle and Aunt in Wichita. We were so grateful for their gracious hospitality in hosting our family!Aunt Nancy and Grandma spent the entire morning (and part of the previous week) preparing a scrumptious dinner. We all enjoyed their fine cooking!!
Dad cutting the turkey.
Gathered around the table for dinner!One of the young men Noah spent time with in China this past summer is currently in Nebraska attending High School as a foreign exchange student. He joined our family while he was on his break from school over Thanksgiving! We enjoyed having him with us!!
Noah and John.
They are great thinkers!! :)
And then time for dessert-- an assortment of delicious pies-- including Noah's fabulous lemon meringue!! 
Plenty of Back yard football games!
Many games of Sequence (and if you want to win, play on John's team!!)!Friday morning we all decided to forgo shopping deals in order to get a little more rest. None of the sales we saw were enough to lure us out of our beds at 4am!!!
After breakfast, we went to the YMCA to go swimming with Aunt Nancy!
Silas loves wearing goggles!
Splashing Wars.
Phoebe and Silas loved playing with Dad's cousin George.
The slide was a big hit!!
Silas wasn't sure if he really liked it.......
but he enjoyed it so much he went several times with Dad and Esther!
The whole group (minus John who was already out and dried off)!!Friday night we got a special treat; getting to see a fantastic volleyball match between the Wichita Shockers and the Missouri Bears.
Before the game.
Smiles!
It was a very intense match!! The Shockers lost both their games by a few points, but came back with two swift wins of the 3rd and 4th games. The 5th game the lead flip-flopped as they battled for the win.
The final score-board.Saturday we traveled to our family reunion on Dad's, Dad's side of the family.
Marcus and Aunt Texye!
Table laden with food.
Papa helping Paul and Marcus with their food. (Note; they bring their handguns to every meal, so they are always prepared for whatever may come up!!) :)
Phoebe and Mauri!
It was a perfect day to take a long walk---until it started raining!!
Esther and Aunt Texye.
Dad and Uncle Mitch.

Looks like you had a great Thanksgiving! Relatives are so fun to hang out with because they've been around your whole life.
So sad that I missed your B-day. We are sooo busy on the addition. Happy (late) Birthday. I'm so thankful for a friend like you.

Oh, I have such WONDERFUL memories from Thanksgiving last year with you guys!! It looks like you had a wonderful time with family! Elizabeth, the pictures are GREAT!! Except there are hardly any with you in them . . . .
Sorry I missed your call Friday night. I tried to call you tonight, but couldn't get through. Maybe a certain brother was home, and messing with the phone . . . ?? ;P We were in MI this past weekend and couldn't use the cell phone because of roaming, so I couldn't call you back till we got home.
Hope to talk to you SOON!!
Love and miss you so much!

Looks like y'all had a blast! It's special to be with family--at least we think so!:) Blessings on your Christmas...hope it's wonderful! Love to all of you!
GREAT POST ELIZABETH!!! I loved all the pictures, and it looks like y'all had SO.... MUCH fun! It's just to bad that I wasn't there for sequence, because then you, and me would have won our three games in a row for sure!=) John or no John! LOL! Our whole fam misses y'all really badly, (especially me!=) and a Merry Christmas from our fam to yours!
Love---Your Adopted Sis'
Good post, Elizabeth! However, don't you think it's time for a Christmas post? I am patiently waiting! :P
