Turkey Day

My favorite American holidays are easily Thanksgiving and Super Bowl. They both involve lots of food and usually watching some football on the side. We packed up the car and headed to Montana to spend Thanksgiving on the farm this year. First, though, we made a quick stop in Bowman, ND to see our godson, Kevin, get baptized. It also gave us an opportunity to have a nice visit with our good friends Eric and Betty, now that they have moved back from Alaska.

Eric and Betty also have a 2 year old daughter named Danielle. Her and Kaylynn hit it right off and had a good old time setting up some dominoes, and knocking them over of course.


Kaylynn and Danielle also helped frost the cakes for the baptism party.

After leaving Bowman we headed over to the farm for the rest of the week. As usual mom, dad, and Pete showed us a good time. I got to do a little hunting with Pete and his friend Todd. Jamie did some quilting with my mom. And Kaylynn played with the kitties and doggies, played games with grandpa, and did a little horseback riding.

Kaylynn also got to tuck grandma in for her nap.

Of course, we ate way too much on Thanksgiving and drank some Tom and Jerry's. If you don't know what those are you are probably not from Montana or North Dakota and you are really missing out.
