Thanksgiving at the McFarlands

It must be Thanksgiving!
Eden and her daddy had made the turkey pumpkin!
 The table was set and ready for guest...
And then, finally, they began to arrive!  Here's our beautiful baby Brynlee all the way from Boise.  (I don't have an early picture of Jayden's arrival at Gramma's house... He was too busy checking out Uncle Carson's toys!)
Steph and Brad were cookin' away!
 The Bushman boys, Rhett, Rock and Rick, were awaiting the feast!
 Kira, Brent, Jean and sweet baby Mia had arrived!
 Jon carved up my not so beautifully browned, but very juicy turkey!
I whipped up my roasted vegtable gravy that was not such a big hit!
The kids found their places at our "kiddie table."
 Aunt Dawn, Uncle Steve, Dustin, Terra, Rhett and Rock began feasing!
 Rick and Brad had their plates piled high, on their first round that is...
 Erik, Kaycee and Lil' Pumpkin Brynlee began the feast!
 Mia and her momma
 Cousin's Kira, Steph and Erik... Sweet baby boy White is waiting patiently to join us next year!
Oh ya, there was pie!

We were so blessed to share the holiday with so much of our family.  We have been joined by two new babies, Brynlee and Mia, this year and have Steph and Brad's baby due early in the new year and we are so thankful that they are all healthy and happy!  Thank you all for coming and sharing this holiday with us.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The First REAL Snow Day of 2010

We got a jump start on the snow pack for 2010 with early snow storms.  On the Sunday before Thanksgiving, our kids spent a very fun and snowy day playing with their friends.
The Wilson's pulled out their four-wheeler and Jon pulled out his ice fishing sled, and they all got a ride around the circle.  Celeste is always a bit crazy!  She even pulled John around while the kids pelted him with snow balls!

Carson and Kaden
The Q-man awaits for just the right moment to launch that snow ball!

Quinton and Lexi
They had a ball!
(Little Eden did not join in on this day... She was the first of our kids to come down with the flu this winter.Poor thing!)
