Thanksgiving 2008

What does our family do for Thanksgiving... Guitar Hero of course! We had about 30 people at our house and we had a lot of fun playing as a family. After all the fun was had the police showed up, funny enough. Some of our neighbors thought that we were on vacation and that people were in our house stealing things. No, just having Thanksgiving!

Emma's Thanksgiving Feast at School

Emma loved learning about Thanksgiving and giving service at school. She got to dress up and invite her family to the class where they served us fresh foods from their garden and soup.

Japanese Tea Garden

We took the kids to the Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco and had fun exploring.
The kids were such good sports. We had actually planned to go to the museum, but it was so busy that we wouldn't have been able to get in for 5 hours, then only have 2 hours to go through the whole museum, so we did this instead. It was a little drizzly, but again, the kids were so good about it!
Here is a picture of Gina and Jason, a little out of focus, but Emma loves to take pictures of us.
Then just to prove to us, once again, that the world is a small place, we ran into Jason's uncle Eric there! We haven't seen him for 4 or 5 years, he was living in Montana and now lives in Nevada, and we just happened to both be visiting the tea gardens on the same day! Very strange!

Our Favorite Christmas Present!

D-Rex was definitely a hit this year with our kids. He is an animatronic dinosaur that with the help of light and sound sensors can play with our kids! Very Fun!
