Another Thanksgiving with the Alve's!!  What a wonderful day - so much great food (well, we did learn to downsize a little after last year!) and wonderful company.  Brian, MJ, Maddy, Coley and Brian - thank you for hosting!!


Brian and Matthew playing outside - the weather was so nice!!

Get Ready!!!  Here comes the bird!!!

Putting lights on the tree - Kathy, Im sure you will be the only one that knows what we are doing!!!  You taught me well!!!  The lights FINALLY were perfect (before Matthew got to them!)

Love these moments! ...All four kids wrestling on the floor...does it get any better...
