Okay, so Thanksgiving is long gone,but we failed to put anything about it on our blog, so here it is, just under one month later.
As always, Janna got into the baking spirit with a beautiful, and rather tasty turkey.
But she didn't stop there. She also made two awesome pies. The one shown above is her homemade cherry pie, with intricate lattice work.
For the third straight year we had Thanksgiving dinner with our good friends David and Chantel. This year we ate at their house, and then played games and had pie at ours. As always, there was tons of great food and loads of fun!
So now that we are caught up on holidays that have passed, oh wait, we missed some birthdays. Happy Birthday Shannon (12/1), Katie (12/10), Casey (12/11), Little Josh (12/14), Ashley (12/16), Jessica (12/17), and Scotty (12/20). Sorry if that seemed like some sort of rapid fire birthday acknowledgment, but it needed to be done.
Janna had the girls make a gingerbread house. Janna practically had to hide in the corner, plug her ears, and hum to herself to let the girls build this on their own, but they were able to do it. As you can see, Anna ate more than she put on the house, but her print was definitely left in the houses construction. Alyssa is the one that put the army guys outside the door. I thought it was to shoot Santa when he comes out, but she told me she was thinking more along the lines of shooting the wicked witch.
The picture above is of Alyssa and her good friend Tabitha. They both performed as part of their third grade holiday program. Tabitha recited her poem, while Alyssa played the recorder. In the video below, Alyssa can be found sitting slightly off center to the right of the screen. The program contained songs about Christmas and Hanukkah.

Ok Guys, I am glad your holidays went well Jana looks like a great cook. We are coming to New York in July I don't know how far away it is from you. Keaton's baseball team is playing @ Cooperstown. A little town actually called Oneida. Maybe we can hook up I know New york is huge, but I would love to see you guys.
Hey Michelle! How are you? Janna really is a great cook. Lucky for me. :) If we are still here in July we would love to hook up. I am working for an anesthesia group here in Buffalo through the end of June, and if things work out, we will be headed back west in July. If we are still here though, Oneida is only about three hours away from where we live. We could meet out there, or you guys could come here and maybe we could go to Niagara Falls or something. Keep us posted.
