Sunday with the Wilsons

Great Aunt Dorothy (GAD) and Great Uncle Jeffery (GUJ) picked up the ladies from the Serpentine Canyon mishap (see following post) and took them down to stay the night at Tobin!  The following pictures were taken by Dorothy and Jeffery, who were totally enchanted by both Ruth and Isabelle!  They had a bit of trouble getting to sleep, but GUJ took Isabelle on a walk under the stars and it finally worked.  This tiny gal just doesn't want to miss a minute!

Thanksgiving 2010

November 24th - Man, was it cold!  You'll notice we're all wearing coats and wraps.  Grant and I drove down to Tobin Wednesday night to share the nice dinner Barbara made for everyone.  Jeffery & Dorothy had made the major effort of walling in the garage beneath their house and set up a beautiful dining area for us, plus a ping pong table in the room next door.  Dan & Diane, with Joy and Brooke, and Jim & Liana, with Casey, Riley, Jimmy, and Hannah, were all in attendance, as well as Matthew & Kyria, and our beloved matriarch, Barbara.

November 25th - Thanksgiving Day
The Craig Wilsons arrived after breakfast, and Dick Couchman & Hap Phillips joined us for the feasting and festivities.  A great time was had by all!
