Thanksgiving

My first Thanksgiving breakfast feast with the Hatch family. As you can see in the picture above, it was quite the crowd. Having the super delicious, big breakfast meal on Thanksgiving is genius. Nobody has conflicts because it's early in the morning and this way you get to expand your stomach for the big meal later in the afternoon.

I taught the teenagers a lesson or two in our game of 21.


Blue steel? A new pose Bobby has been working on. I'm so glad we got it on film.

Aurora is not a big fan of taking pictures, even with her obviously favorite uncle.

She had no problem jumping in on the dog pile.

Grandpa had to leave so I got to hold the sleeping baby. It was contagious.

After the morning with the Hatch family, it was on to the Donkin family party at the Zeller's house. I stole a few pictures from Lynda's facebook page at the Hatch party above. I was then trying to think about who might have pictures already posted from the Zeller party and then I realized that Lynda would have those as well. She is Jonnie's sister and she married Hod's brother so we get them at both parties. Sure enough she already had two different albums to choose from.

Bobby is already a big hit with the ladies.

Jackie attempted the self portrait. Fail

Let's just have your Aunt take a picture of us.

After the parties it was time for the movie. Davey got us in to see Tangled in 3D. The picture below is Bobby watching the movie with his little 3D glasses on. It's hard to make it out but you can see his glasses and little forehead. He was definitely better than some of the kids in the theater, sleeping through a good portion.


Overall it was a great Thanksgiving. My first one out here with Jackie's family. We had great weather. It was a little cold but you can't complain when it is sunny. I missed the morning surf session with my brothers that we would have when we lived in California growing up but I really can't complain.

Glad I was able to take so many pictures of your sweet baby boy. I wish I could see him more, he's just rediculous.

You're welcome to steel my pictures anytime and I'll steel yours. LOL!!!
