Thanksgiving at the Craven's









Thanks Kent & Caroline for hosting Thanksgiving for many of us. It was so fun to be together! The company, food and setting was all perfect. We all enjoyed the comfort of the Craven's beautiful home. We missed Gene's family, Shyla, Lani, Darci families, Janice's family, April--not fun to spend thanksgiving home peuking your guts up, Tawnya's family, Lanell's family and Shellie's family although we did get to hang out with Shellie and kids on Friday and Saturday morning.


It was a great time. Some of us brave (or crazy) ones stayed up till the wee hours (2:30 A.M) the first night playing Apples to Apples and we witnessed Dad (grandpa Mc) laughing so hard he could't talk. Dont know if I've ever seen dad laugh that hard. It was contageous just watching him!
The next night some of the die-hards stayed up late again sitting around the table exploring chinese medicine and the mysteries of face-reading completed with Challis's 'flapper' or 'flipper' revealed. Not sure what those single tooth things are called.
All in all, it was so much fun. the adults talking fast as we could to catch up and the kids playing as hard as they could to squeeze the most out of every moment. It's such a jpy to be together and see all the kids enjoy being together.
Thanks again Kent & Caroline and family; I know you all put in a lot of extra hours getting your house ready for all of us. Thanks too to the Craven kids for giving up your beds!
