Picture Sharing Time! Thanksgiving!

Well I know it's been a while since Thanksgiving, but I finally had a chance to upload pictures!  Nevermind that I completely forgot to take ANY on Christmas.  Grrr!  Oh well, the memories are there.  Here are some from the Thanksgiving we shared at the Charloux's home:
 Bounce house!




In goes the turkey!



Stand back!


Men stand around, cook with fire!  Argh argh!
 

Not sure what they're looking at, must be interesting though





Just hanging out, mom!





The child lair.  Who needs a bounce house when there's Xbox 360?




Turkey's done!



Mmmmmmm!



Oh yes, some of that too please!



Delicious!



After dinner, it's time for the beach!


And volleyball!


Then skateboarding!


And finally, sitting around the fire and relaxing!

Happy Birthday Brandon!!!

Well, it's official.  I am now the parent of a 10 year old!  One decade...what an achievement!  This past weekend we celebrated with an outdoor BBQ and camping party, something we've never been able to do in December!  Nine prepubescent boys running around causing havoc...playing football, guns, and Wii.  We had burgers, dogs, and ribs.  Ice cream and cake.  Roasted marshmallows.  It was a definitely a party!

Six boys were crashed out in various places the next day, and we had a low key Sunday lounging on our jammies.

PICS FINALLY!
