Gandolf Thanksgiving 2008

Well...First I have to apologize for being the slacker that forgot to take pictures at the Gandolf Thanksgiving. I know it's hard for you to believe but somehow I got to chatting and then forgot to take some pictures. We all had a great time and the food was wonderful. Unlike the Johnson family, my side of the family is much smaller. We had a new addition to the family this year - Jackson Ryan to my cousin Traci and her husband Ryan. He is way too cute and I was truly honored to have been there for his birth. Every year for Christmas, we draw names between the two families for our Christmas exchange. It is always a hoot to hear people talk about what they should put on their lists. Normally, the cards get passed out pretty early but we all just end up talking so we end up drawing later in the evening. My mom is always a wonderful host for Thanksgiving and she always plans our Thanksgiving for the weekend before or after Thanksgiving so we can all stay and not have to go to several different places. It makes for such a wonderful day. Kylie and I even got to beat up on our little brother who was home from Purdue. Thanks mom and dad for such a wonderful day.
