Thanksgiving

We had a nice Thanksgiving yesterday. Kevin's Mom & Dad hosted the gathering for Daryl's side of the family. It was a smaller crowd this year, everybody just seems to have a lot going on. I think was the first year since we were married that we didn't have more than one place to go on Thanksgiving. We got together awhile back for my Mom's side of the family and then last Sunday we went to my Grandma Forre's house. On Saturday they had Sue's side of the family in Omaha. We didn't go because Kevin was in the field and I didn't really want to take the boys by myself all the way to Omaha.

The guys had to harvest some yesterday so that they could keep the dryer full, but they were able to enjoy the day little bit. Some of the relatives even got a combine ride out of the deal.

By the way, if everything goes according to plan - Kevin and Daryl should finish up harvesting tomorrow. It has been one long drawn out harvest this year!!! It will be so nice to finally have all of the crops out of the field and safely stored away. Maybe things can return to normal around here now - well as normal as a farmer's life can be.

It was a beautiful day today. We tried to get Christmas card pictures taken. I did end up getting a couple of shots that are going to have to work. It is not easy trying to get 3 small kids to cooperate for a picture - so you just take what you can get.

Here are some pictures that I didn't use...

Kellen is doing really well in this picture, not so well for the other two.

I had planned to write up a "what I'm thankful for" post on Wednesday night in time for Thanksgiving, but our power was out from 6:30 pm to 10:30pm. Sooo I didn't get too much anything done on Wednesday night since everything requires electricity. You really don't realize how much you take electricity for granted until you don't have any. Anyways, I'm feeling very thankful this holiday season so hopefully I can still get something posted. I've fallen behind on posting pictures as well, so hopefully when I get things caught up around here (hahaha) I can get some pictures posted.
