Thanksgiving 2008!

We celebrated Turkey Day in Vegas this year at Tyler's parent's house! Trevor, Bethany, Jeff, Alexa, Uncle Jim, Aunt Sherry, Tyler, Madison, and myself joined Richard and Sue for the weekend. Thursday morning, Bethany and I went to the park and watched the boys play football while the kids ran around and played. Unfortunately, the game was cut short, because two guys knocked heads, and both split their heads open. Both of them had to get stitches, but luckily it was no one in our crew. Then, we went home to a wonderful feast prepared by Tyler's mom, and it was so YUMMY!!
Madison fell asleep on her daddy..so cute!

Sue Hammond, Uncle Jim, and Aunt Sherry. Jim is Sue's brother, and they live in So. Cal.

The tryptophan kicking in - Tyler and Jeff were both napping within an hour of eating!

Madison and Alexa had a blast together!

Candy bingo - a Hammond tradition! We each get 2 treats for our movie night!

Madison selected her choice of candy before the game even started! We went to see "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" this year - it was really good, but very sad! We all left the theater very somber!!

It was so great to be with family this weekend. We are so blessed, and I am so grateful for my life and the comforts that I enjoy! Mostly, this year I am thankful for family. Although I was not able to be with my side of the family this year, it was sure great to be with Tyler's family. We are lucky to have such wonderful people in our lives!
