We have so much to be Thankful for and we had such a great Thanksgiving. It was the first Thanksgiving we had been home for four years. Tawni and Ryan were able to come up and celebrate with us. We sure felt the hole that was there by the absence of the Zastrow Family and Tyler, but it was good to reflect on all of our blessings. We had Steve and Marilyn and Randy and Wendy over for dinner. Then we went to a movie. Afterwards, we went to Grandma Shar's for dessert. It was nice to hang out.
Tawni is half way through her pregnancy and her little belly is starting to grow. We are so excited for another little Grandson!
Tawni, Sandy and Jessie
Tawni and Ryan at the Resort on Friday night. I think we have found a new tradition. We went downtown about four o'clock and ate at Dockside and then we were able to just step outside in the back to watch the fireworks. We had a great spot to sit and had an excellent view.
Jessie, Aiden and Brad. Aiden loved the fireworks. His eyes were as big as saucers the whole time.
Our family at the Resort. We were missing so many of our family members! We were thankful that Tawni and Ryan were able to come celebrate with us. 
Lyle and Darbye.

Here are Lyle, Darbye, Ryan and Tawni waiting for the fireworks to start. We were so lucky, because it rained most of the morning and then in the afternoon the clouds lifted and it was a beautiful, clear night with no wind. Ryan and Jessie had never been in Coeur d'Alene for the Christmas celebration, so we were happy to share this with them.
These boys are so cute and they really love their sister.
We loved that the boys would always call Emily "Little Em". Whenever Emy would try to take something away from Atlas, or cry, or whatever she did.....they would say"NO LITTLE EM!!!" She is definately spoiled.
