thanksgiving 2009, part 1

I realize the following will only be interesting to me and my family. But that is the beauty of having your own blog.

I love coming home.

The anticipation was overwhelming... "You have been called to serve..."

B loved holding Belén, and I think the feeling was mutual.

Picture-taking was rampant.

Music filled the space inbetween.

We found a few new hats Mom had bought (some still with the tag on). We like to rummage through her accessories when we're home and, er... take too many pictures of ourselves.

There was also a lot of lounging (we like to drape ourselves over couch pillows, with throw blankets and each other), hot chocolate, book reading and random conversation. Laptops and kindles (mainly Bruce) were also present.

Umm Noelle, that is not your home, your home in on Signal Mountain, just down the street from our home :) Love your family! So where was the call to???

one, i can't believe you won't tell us where your bro is going! cruel.
two, what a beautiful home, family, pictures...etc. it's just not fair that one family got the brains, talent, and beauty all in one. but i love it. (the laptop picture is really funny.)

I love when you go home too.....reminds of times past. Althought the faces are getting older,I can't believe it! And there are new young ones about, that are so cute and I can't believe I don't know them! It makes me sad!
Now read this next and think of my most "firm" tone, "Young lady if you do not post where he is going to I'm going to come down to Mexico and kick your butt into next week!!" -k love ya.

I love the last photo. Reminds me of when my family gets together at the cabin & we all have our laptops. Kind of pathetic, but nice that we're doing it together.

PS - pretty sisters. Yes.
