Thanksgiving

 Grandma, Grandpa, Olga, Steve and Karleen came over for Thanksgiving dinner

 We spent a couple of days at the cabin over Thanksgiving weekend.  There was an intense Speed tournament.  In the end it came down to Niel and Camille in the championship, with Niel squeaking out a victory.  Quite exciting!

 We dug up the time capsule that we buried before Grandma and Grandpa's mission.  Each of us had written a letter to ourselves and placed a meaningful item inside.

It was a very fun and relaxing weekend.  It's always nice to be able to spend time with family.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving weekend began with reports of a huge blizzard on the way, so I was very relieved when Camille arrived home before the snow started to fly on Tuesday. It was a true blizzard for a couple of hours, but it stopped before it became the killer blizzard the media reports made it seem like it was going to be. Still it was good to have everyone home.

It was too COLD to be good snowman snow, so Camille and Matt made snow angels, instead.

Grandpa and Grandpa O. spent the night with us Wednesday. Everyone got their creative juices flowing making cookie turkeys and Kevin made this cool snowman out of Buckyballs.

There's more than one thing you can do with candy corn!

Good enough to eat!
