Thanksgiving 2010

Thanksgiving was spent with Phil's family. I made three pies; apple crumb, my favorite pecan and Phil's favorite lemon meringue. We enjoyed our few hours in Mesa with most of Phil's siblings, missing only Allison and her family. We certainly missed Grandma Gunnell who passed away this May and Grandpa Standage who passed away last September.

These two turkeys were all dressed up before we headed out to Mesa, I put Kate down to finish up some kitchen details and Max walked right over to her and plopped his tushy right next to her! Obviously I ran for the camera and just want to eat them right up!

Max enjoying his dinner. We did not eat turkey this year! Phil's mom & dad made a wonderful prime rib roast instead.

On our way home we stopped by the cemetery and saw Camden's grave. I want to make this a tradition for as long as we are in Arizona. I am so grateful for my three children and that we will have Camden in our arms again.

Great pictures! That first one is adorable and that one with Kate and Grandpa Gunnell is amazing! I'm glad you got to stop by Camden's grave on the way home. That is a wonderful tradition!

Wow, the kids are growing so fast! I love the idea of prime rib instead of turkey. So were there sweet potatoes and all the other "Thanksgiving" stuff?

Looks like you had a great Day! I can't believe how big your babies are getting. We missed seeing you later that night at Grandmas.
