Thanksgiving is always a time for games at our home. Not always is everyone in the mood but we still have a good time. Here are some random pic's.

My beautiful grandchildren. Getting them to smile all at the same time was a chore.

The kids wanted to play outside in the "snow". We didn't have that much but they had fun anyway.

The kids have so much fun playing with Jeremy. He is such a good uncle. Thank You Merm!

Andy and Jason played guitar hero. They were fun to watch. Jason really gets into his guitar.

Taunya was busy planning her shopping spree for the next morning.

Thanksgiving dinner 2009 was filled with food, fun and laughter. Jason and his family were able to come home. Jennifer and her family came up from Utah later that day. Keeley and Andrew were greatly missed. This is my dining room before the big feast. This is my dining room when everyone is here to eat.

Ardery cutting the turkey...yummy!!!!

The family is so big that the older grandkids get to eat at their own table in the front room.

After eating all that turkey, everyone had to take a nap.....but me. None stop dishes.

The first part of Nov. 8th we had a combined birthday party for Jeremy and Tessa. Tessa is playing Peek A Boo with Jeremy. It was so funny to listen to her giggle.
Tessa was not happy about her hands getting dirty.

Blowing out the birthday candle!!

Nov. 3, 2009 was Grandma Andrews 80th birthday. We had a surprise birthday party for her. Lynette and Kent came over from Boise. All the family that could be here was there. The house was full. Some friends dropped by as well. Lorliene and Kevin were out of town so they were not there.

Kent started a frosting fight with me....he lost!

This past week was an emotional rollercoaster ride for me.

My sister Linda went into the hospital Tuesday and died Thursday.

She has been dealing with Lupus for the last 10 years.

She just had her 61st birthday on the 11th of the this month. She was on 61.

To young to die. Collene and I were the last of the family to talk to her on Tuesday.

She was put into a coma with thoughts that it would help her body to heal faster.

She never came out of it. Most of my brother's and sister's were there when she died. But all

of us were there for the funeral. This was a time for some of the cousins to get caught up and have a laugh or two.
Joan was not able to be here for the funeral. She is still on her mission.
Once there was 7, now there is 6.

Peggy, myself and Penny.
