Thanksgiving Up to Camp

The Thanksgiving that almost wasn't!


Sally put the turkey in a counter top oven early in the morning so that the oven would be available for side dishes. At 10 am Jobe went to make toast and the toaster wouldn't work and we realized we had blown a fuse! The turkey was stone cold! We quick threw the turkey in the oven and thankfully it had enough time to cook and dinner was served at 1PM instead of the planned 12:30 PM.






All the girls in the tub getting ready for Thanksgiving! Natalie is missing, next year she'll be big enough!

Cali, Lily, and Shelby








Lily and Shelby had meeting in Carl and Sally's bed. They were signing hymn #1 and using Sally's romance novels as their meeting books!






After Thanksgiving Carl got a great fire going outside and we all went out to enjoy the beautiful night.












Gretty ended the night by reading the kids P is for Pilgrim... and alphabet Thanksgiving story.


After Thanksgiving a bunch of the family came up to stay at the camp on the hill. On Friday night everyone came down to play some games and try to get rid of some of the left over pies!





The ladies started the night off with an intense game of Jenga! We reached 27 rows and 2 blocks before our tower toppled!












The guys thought they could 'out build' the ladies Jenga tower. Too bad! They only got 26 rows!
















Then they all headed downstairs for a game of Foosball














The kids and Jobe enjoying a game of Backgammon









Lily enjoying a book in front of the sunny window
Shilo was NOT okay with Daddy holding Molly, so poor Daddy, he got to hold both the babies!
Sorry this post is so late (and so long!) We had a great time and took a lot of photos! Many of these are Sally's as my camera has been on the fritz so thanks Sally for the use of your photos! Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
