We had a wonderful Thanksgiving day today with some family. Randi and I had our very first attempt of doing our own turkey and if I must say so myself - it was pretty good!! Dinner was a success!
Kevin carving the bird
Doing the last minute preps before eating. I don't know why Kevin has that expression on his face, I know he was probably hungry by that time but not mad ;) Maybe he didn't hear Randi say SMILE!! :)
Our meal ready to be eaten with
Jaren sitting at the table patiently waiting to be served and deciding what should be put on his plate and what should be left off.
Let me tell you.........get the dishes done from the Thanksgiving meal and it's outside to start getting ready for Christmas!! While the weather was beautiful and I had a little help I decided to drag Randi outside (kicking & screaming) with me to put up some lights on the trees. What better time than now before our hands are freezing and I don't want to be out there (especially by myself).
Trent attempting his "roping" skills on a cow that Kevin has been treating for a wounded leg. Only took him 3 tries to get her! It's a good thing she didn't move at all otherwise we might have been there all night! :)
Me and our little boy
Auntie Randi and
Landen
Going for a little quad ride with
all our kids! :)
"Okay, I think I've had enough turkey! Goodnight everyone!"
These are just a few of the one-hundred-and-some that I took so I created a slideshow for those that would want to take the time to look at it. So if you decide go to the post below and take a look at our beautiful weekend in Canmore with the Letniak family.
The dreaded goodbye's :(

Mike and John cutting up the 28 lb bird - we were told that each one of us had to eat 4 lbs of turkey that evening to finish it up!! No one was even close to touching that amount as there was way too much other good food to taste!
Landen had a head start on the turkey as we didn't get eating until just shortly before 8pm which is early on the McMynn time schedule! :)
Dishing up to a delicious meal!
Our own little turkey!
