We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. We all were at my Aunt and Uncle's house in Fremont, NE. My parents, Joe and I and the kids drove up there every day and then drove back to Omaha at night to sleep. The kids were troopers, being put to bed there and then being woken up and brought home again. I'm thinking Kylah is going to need some re-training in the sleep department since she's been getting a midnight feeding when we got home! Oh well, it was worth it! :)
Kylah looks like she is very much in love with her daddy.
Did I mention that we had around 35 people at Thanksgiving dinner?! Here is my brother Tony mashing the potatoes. There were so many that a normal mixer just wouldn't cut it.
Joe taking a turn carving the turkey. My favorite turkey is the one my uncle smokes on the grill...yummy!
Papa got in lots of play time with his two favorite grandsons.
This is the annual post-Thanksgiving meal football game. We play against the family next door. Needless to say, with all of our tall and athletic guys we won quite nicely!
On Friday night we took all the little kids to the Christmas walk in downtown Fremont. They were all so cute dressed up in their warm outfits. Joey and Michael liked the little train the best. I liked looking at all the gingerbread houses.
Joey and Michael shared the stroller together. They are quite the good buds.
Kylah also enjoyed the Christmas walk. (Well, until I had to carry her for a while because she was screaming.)
Hanging out together on Saturday. That was a nice relaxing day.
Rock band was a hit. Here's my cousin Tommy taking a turn at the drums.
Gina, Andy and Nicole.
We had a great weekend, but as usual it went way too fast. We consumed way too much food. Did I mention that my Uncle Pete is a phenomenal cook? Joe and I stole his recipes for his Italian beef subs and his enchiladas. Now I'm going to have to work on getting back into shape before the next holiday comes! :)

That picture of Kylah and Joe is priceless!!! Where in the world did you get that idea for the potatoes?!!
The better question would be what in the world is Tony mashing the potatoes with??? Kylah is too cute for words. You should sign her up for the cutest baby contest. What a doll.
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm glad you guys had such a wonderful holiday. Feel free to make the Italian beef subs the next time we're together. =) Those sound yum-o.
Actually my uncle made the potato masher. He just wired a potato masher onto a stick so that we had the leverage. It did make some yummy potatoes!
Val, that's a great idea...we'll bring the recipe and make those while we're all in Kansas for Christmas!
