We had a blast with the cousins over. We had a bit of some structural difficulties with our gingerbread houses, but after multiple icing recoveries, all the houses stood tall (at least while on their journey back to Lancaster, PA with the Becks!)

This is our second year going to McCurdy's Tree Farm out in the boonies. You take a hay ride to your specific tree location, search, cut, and take a hay ride back to the barn.

Ah, Bobby, taking phone calls during the ceremonial family tree cutting. I guess I should add it was a business call. At least I got the photo out of it.

Caroline loves to have Jo Jo sit next to her. And of course, Johanna LOVES any attention from her big sister. Even when Caroline is a wee bit rough to her, Johanna smiles and laughs at her.

We spent a little time at the Shifflers...

And a little at the Dirles where Bobby cooked a beautiful turkey. Sadly, no gravy for this bird.

Hairstylist Natalie did her best for Bobby Boy.


The cousins together to watch Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving Special.
