Thanksgiving times three!

This year, we've been stretching Thanksgiving out a bit. Last weekend we did the big dinner here at our house with my little brother Joey, gf Anamique (or Mimi as Vaughn says) and some friends. I made a turkey meatloaf and Juli did the rest of the trimmings. Then on the real turkey day we ventured down to San Diego to Juli's cousins and had an awesome family gathering with her extended cousins, aunt and uncle... I did a lot of guessing as to exactly how everyone is related, and Juli kept having to correct me. It was great to be around all the family and we had a nice day. Then yesterday we went to the Brough's where they were celebrating a day late! They did the entire dinner spread and we made one of Juli's pumpkin cheesecakes... mmmmm! Vaughn and Lola played for hours, while the little babies, Penny and Lila pretended to play, and the adults drank themselves silly. It was a good night and we ended up swimming in the pool and spa and Vaughn is so tired that he's been sleeping for 12 hours.... All three thanksgivings were great! We have a lot to be thankful for!

Of course, we didn't take many pics... Robbie and Marcella spent the night with us Wednesday and went to her family's house on Thanksgiving, but they did take this pic before they left, so this counts:


And here is Juli and Uncle Mark when we were on our way home after dinner... They are sailing south into Mexico this weekend for the next 6 months! Lucky!

I love that family portrait Robbie/Marcella took. You need to get that framed! I want a copy.
Miss you 5 (Jonesy included).
