The day before Thanksgiving, I spent the whole day baking bread and making candy and salsa! We left at 8am on Thanksgiving morning and stopped at Aunt Cindy's to drop off some candy and visit for an hour or so. I'm glad I did! It was nice to see everyone and the boys really love their Aunt!
We stopped for beer on the way to my brother's house and I took this picture of the boys while we waited for Dad. It was their "Happy Thanksgiving" picture for Grandma Shelly!
Off to Uncle John's! Games and fun while we wait for TURKEY!
Things get a bit...silly!
Mmm...turkey smell...

A secret picture of the turkey chef...you don't want to spook him!
The family awaits...
The moment has arrived!
I get a rare picture of the youngest Tovaas. His reaction? "You got me smiling?!"
And then things get silly again!
Carson follows suit!
And then crazy...
We ate and drank well into the evening.
Good times were had by all. You just gotta love Southern California though. Outdoor cooking, shorts, and flip flops while the rest of the country is covered in snow! Plans for Christmas are in the works. We're all stuffed with turkey, potatoes, pie, and candy. No one was injured. No one cried. Life is good!
