We had the opportunity this year with the new house to host our first family Thanksgiving. My side - the Martindales came in for this year! Samara and Brian and the kids came in and stayed with us. Shanna and dad did as well. We had a full house and were using every available space. It was great though. Mom, Rick and Pa and Kiley, Sharalee and their kids joined us on the big day as well as hung out for the next few days. It was a nice time of family. The food was great (as usual) with everyone contributing. The next day we decided to all start Christmas together since we wouldn't be together for Christmas. We all helped decorate the tree. Then we went across the street to a farm called Hunt Club and did their winter wonderland experience. We toured santa's worshop, met santa, went on a horse drawn carriage ride in an 1800s carriage, and then roasted marshmellows over an open fire. What a great family tradition! We hope it continues!
