2 The cabin where we shared Thanksgiving with 5 other families - I think there were 20 kids and 14 grown-ups?
3 My big strong hubby stoking the fire.
4 David Cohen serving everyone up. He did a fine turkey!
5 The kids' table! Full of squeals and naughtiness!
6 Here we all are!
7 I am a blur trying to get Ben to turn around and face the camera!
8 Ok - finally a decent one! Can you find the Krug boys?
9 Sam's latest contraption. And the box is a special toy. Ben walks around with that on his head doing "box drumming" - he plays an imaginary drum in there (hands flailing and fists hitting the side) and finally throws it wildly off his head. Not our favorite "show" but it is funny.
10 Hiking down to Bay Hay to get our tree.
11 The neighborhood trail which connects our road to another really quiet one.
12 Walking by some farms and sheep along the way.
13 A quick jaunt through a nearby trail to take some family photos. Enjoy the outtakes which follow!
14 My three men!
15 Now it's starting to get hilarious!
16 Uh oh.
17 Funny faces starting!
18 Oh no!
19 Yup. Who saw that coming?
20 The rest speak for themselves. I love the whole sequence.

29 Nice! Thankful the washing machine works again :)
30 Oh yeah!

33 What is that face?
34 Eating a snack!
35 This is "Sam's ditch" where he went upside down on his bike while we were all three biking home. Ben and I heard a screech and looked back only to see Sam's legs sticking straight up. He has a tendency to be biking along fine, then absent-mindedly run into a termite guy's truck and set the alarm off (Hawaii) or roll right into a ditch! He is funny!

38 Daddy met up with us at Bay Hay - I'd wanted to haul the tree back on my shoulders but they picked one that was much too big for that! Dave is opening up some cranberry bread that has the natives going wild!
39
40 A little more wood for the fire. The boys come running out when they hear me pounding. They all have safety glasses (not on quite yet here) and Ben is using Sam's new sledgehammer.
41 Sam is really strong.
42 Whoa!
43
44 Ben says "You don't want to hit your FOREHEAD."
45 Boom! Noting that different rounds make different noises when pounded upon. Hollow or solid, wet or dry.
