Thanksgiving '08, Part 1

This year, we spent Thanksgiving with my family at my brother's house down in Plano. We had a lot of fun, and Grandma got her heart's desire in family pictures. Here we all are, lookin' fine!

This is me and my sister-in-law, Tricia. She makes really good cornbread stuffing, and she even cleaned her house for us all (wink!). She doesn't have zits, either, unlike me--I thought you were supposed to outgrow that in college, darn it.

This is my favorite Thanksgiving picture. It's my two favorite people!

And my fabulous parents. Aren't they gracious? The didn't want to have their pictures taken (after subjecting all of us to it), but they posed anyway. Ok, well, they didn't have a choice because Chad and I just started snapping away.

And this is what we spent a good portion of the afternoon doing. Caleb was playing baseball with a whiffle ball, and hit a pop fly up into Uncle Chad's Bradford pear tree. It apparently caught on a branch, and despite our best efforts (see below), it didn't come down until a cold front came through the next week, bringing with it 40 mph winds. Personally, I think my dad was the smartest of us, and probably got the most entertainment value out of the whole affair--don't you see him there, sitting on the porch, watching everyone else work away?
