THANKSGIVING TRIP TO OREGON

THIS YEAR WE FINALLY DID IT! WE SPENT A HOLIDAY WITH MY FAMILY IN OREGON. FOR WHATEVER REASON WE'VE ONLY SPENT A TOTAL OF TWO THANKSGIVINGS & ZERO CHRISTMAS'S WITH MY SIDE OF THE FAMILY!
IT WAS GREAT SEEING EVERYONE. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN LIKE FOREVER WE PRETTY MUCH HAD EVERYONE WAS THERE. MY BABY BROTHER JUSTIN JUST GOT BACK FROM IRAQ, AND I EVEN GOT TO MEET HIS FIANCE . IT'S CRAZY BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE IN MY FAMILY THAT EVEN THOUGH I'M WITH THEM, WHEN IT'S OVER I DON'T ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE I'VE SEEN ANY OF THEM. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE FAMILY PHOTO (WHICH KEENAN SOME HOW DODGED--SNEAKING UPSTAIRS DURING ALL OF THE ARRANGING) THERE ARE A LOT OF US. I THINK THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 40 PEOPLE AT OUR THANKSGIVING FEAST. WHEN WE GET TOGETHER IT'S CRAZY! EVEN THOUGH I HATE THAT IT'S ALL A BLUR WHEN IT'S OVER, I LOVE THAT MY FAMILY MAKES ME LAUGH. THEY'RE THE BEST.
THE WHOLE FAMILY
(MINUS KEENAN WHO SNUCK UPSTAIRS--STINKER :) & ADAM'S WIFE MS. JAMIE)
HALE COUSINS
(THIS IS THE ONLY ONE I GOT WITH EVERYONE LOOKING!)
MY SISTERS

CRAZY BROTHERS

What a treat to see everyone at once! A more beautiful group of people I have never known.

These turned out pretty good. I got a bunch of crappy shots on my camera, so I'm gonna copy and past these over to my album. Much love-
