Thanks For Thanksgiving!!

L to R: Half of my nephew, Luke, Jan (youngest sister), Tim (older brother), and Me (between the two in age). Missing in the picture is my oldest brother Matt who had not gotten out of bed yet or maybe hadn't combed his hair, and older sister Amy who did not come.

Our family took a little (okay, very LONG) road trip to my sister Jan's house for the Thanksgiving weekend. It was an absolute delight!! All the siblings, save one, and their families all gathered together for some riotous good times. There were 22 people in all and would you believe we all fit in the tiny mansion of the Taylor household??

Thanksgiving was filled with lots of great food (even the turkey) and chaos!! It was truly one of those Thanksgivings that is memorable. We could have easily beaten out the Lampoons. It was loud and messy and crazy awesome!!

Not only did we celebrate Thanksgiving, but we also threw TWO birthday parties!! My nephew KALEB turned FIVE (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KALEB!!!) and wanted to go to Chucky Cheese's. There is one in Boise!! That is one hoppin' place!! The kids had wild times spending about a million tokens and eating pizza and more pizza!!



And another nephew turned ONE TODAY(Happy Birthday, LUKERS!!!)and we celebrated with a great homemade cake and huckleberry ice cream. Yep. I did the decor on the cake. We wanted it to be red frosting, but we ran out of red food coloring. Hence, it is a bit pink...ish) But Luke is one year old, he is not going to remember it, right? Well, maybe not until I BRING IT UP!! Sweet Blackmail!!



Anyway, it was quite a weekend!!

Thanks Jan and Brian for braving the party!! You put on quite a spread!! Love ya!!
