Their darling little girl, Alyse. She is our hope of having a girl someday. (Steven and Nicki had 4 boys before they finally got a girl).
Brian and Steven went and played football in the yucky weather. Nicki and I had a great time cooking. Nicki even braved the turkey...I was glad!
Tyler was our best helper with dinner. 
The boys have LOVED having cousins to play with. 
Nicki with Blake and Alyse. 
Tyler after he was a little TOO helpful with getting the corn ready. Corn all over one side of the table. 
The turkey turned out great. 
Carter, their oldest (8) with Blake.
Terrill. Tyler was excited that he had stitches in his forehead to match his. 
Wonderful to have family here! We don't get this luxury very often. 
had to get a picture of Jacob with his "chicken on the stick" (one of the turkey bones). These were always his request when it was time to eat turkey. 
Brian and Steven took all the kids to the rainforest (free admission on Thanksgiving) while Nicki and I cleaned up in peace. We tried to get done in time to meet them there, but didn't quite make it in time. 
Back home for some pies. Delicious!! Thanksgiving could not have been better. We loved it!!
