Thanksgiving at the Lees

Some random pictures of the girls in November. Barry is playing on the computer and the girls are playing on the bed before bedtime. Here is Chantrell in her purple pjs.
Brenna sitting up like a big girl.
Before we went to the Lee's house for our second Thanksgiving, we stopped over at Barry's mom's house. Carolyn Inman is holding Brenna up over the doggie, Scrappy.
Chantrell is playing with a tv guide on the floor.
Scrappy is watching to make sure she doesn't get any of his toys on the floor.

Barry's grandma, Margaret Voss, is holding Brenna on her lap.
The girls are sitting up by themselves and are ready for pictures.

Carolyn made these cute hats for the girls to wear. Chantrell doesn't know what to think of it.

We always have a great time visiting Carolyn, John (her boyfriend), and Margaret. The babies are so much fun to take visiting family. They love their little hats and wear them when we go out for walks.

Now we are at the Lee's house later that night. Brenna was sick and asleep in her carseat. Chantrell loved playing with Sweetie Girl, the dog. Rosie's daughter Darri is the owner to the doggie.
It was cute to watch how the dog made little noises and wanted to play with Chantrell.
Here is Larry (Darri's boyfriend) and Darri Kramer.

Daddy and Brenna all snuggled up in her cute hat and warm sweater.

Thanksgiving at the Bowmans

We had Barry's parents over for Thanksgiving this year. They traveled from Eugene for the day. Dad's sister Deanna came over too. I enjoyed making our table look extra fancy with the green and gold plates, gold plated utensils, and name cards.
Here is my plate setting and name card.
Rhiannon looking pretty.
Dave and Racer enjoying some story telling. Barry is getting some snacks from the table.
The gang in the kitchen cooking all the last minute dishes.
Looking into the living room all decorated for Christmas. Barry and I did a lot of cleaning and decorating for the special day.

Tiffany and Adam cooked this turkey cajun style with cranberry and sausage stuffing. It turned out really yummy.

This turkey was cooked the old fashioned way. Rubbed with butter and stuffed with stuffing. It tasted good too.

Dad is working on the gravy which turned out looking really weird because of all the butter drippings. But, it tasted pretty good.

The Christmas tree all decorated for the season. Everyone enjoyed the great food and great company. My next post will be Thanksgiving in Eugene at the Lees.
