Lots and Lots of food!

This year we spent Thanksgiving with Tyler's family! It was so nice to get away from school and work for almost a week and just relax with family. The Bendixsens had lots of family over for Thanksgiving, so it was a busy house. More people just means more food! We had all kinds of food... turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, 12 layer Jell-O, spinach dip, artichoke dip, rolls, and of course lots of dessert. It was so very delicious! We were eating all this food for a few days! Unfortunately our camera battery died, so I wasn't able to get very many pictures of this blessed event. However, the few that I got or stole from Cameron will be included.
Here is Cousin Mary and Dad (drooling over the food).



The girls on Thanksgiving day. (Tess, me, and Cam's fiance, Camilla).

On Friday, most of the girls, (cough cough Milla) got up early and went up to Tri-Cities to do some Black Friday shopping! It was fun to shop with the girls! It has always been tradition that just the girls go shopping on Black Friday, but this year the boys came up and had lunch with us and finished shopping with us. It was a loooong day of shopping! I don't think I bought anything for Christmas, but was successful in finding a shirt for family pictures! :) It was lots of fun!

On Saturday we took family pictures and then headed somewhere in Washington (Walla Walla maybe?) to find the best Christmas tree! Apparently it takes a lot of people to find the best one ;), but we did manage to agree on one. It was beautiful and smelled sooo good! It fit perfectly when we got it home! It was about an inch from the ceiling!
Thanks for a wonderful Thanksgiving mom and dad!
