Thanksgiving 2010

Every year for Thanksgiving, we love having Mike and Amber come to visit us.  This year, Arthur's brother Matt from Brooklyn, who we NEVER see, was able to come too, which made it extra fun this time.  We ate, played games (Matt humored us, I don't think he's much of a game player), went on our traditional Christmas tree-hunting excursion, went to dinner, and just enjoyed hanging out. The kids loved being with their uncles and aunt and all clamored for their attention.  Thanks for being so good to them, guys!  We just love you and can't wait to you again soon!

Here are some of the pictures from the fun weekend:

The "Brothahs."
We got a new camera--hurray!  I was playing around with one of the features which is a "smile timer."  It doesn't take the picture until you smile.  Amazing.
But you have to smile very big, for it to sense the smile.  


Uncle Matt & Uncle Mikey made a very amazing marble tower with almost every single piece.  It was so tall, Hayden had to stand on the bin to put marbles in it.


Thanksgiving morning, we woke up to some snow!  How festive! And the great thing about Albuquerque is that is was all melted away by noon.  ;)

The Thanksgiving Feast--mmm, delicious!

Aunt Amber with Sydney who got very spoiled while they were here.

And of course, our Annual Tree Hunting expedition:




The chosen tree is the one behind us.  
We actually found it remarkably fast--in fact, we had to play around a bit longer just to make it worth the trip.  This is one of my favorite traditions our family has.





Thanks for coming guys!  We had so much fun with you, and look forward to your visit every year!  We hope it won't be as long till the next time we see you, Matt!  Love you guys!

Yay! We had so much fun with you guys. Thank-you so much for having us every year although I think a once a year get together is way too long to wait. Hopefully we'll get to see you soon! We love you guys!
