Before I go into detail, I need to say thank you to my sister Elizabeth for sharing these photos with me. She and my youngest sister, Christine, were the photographers for the following photos.
In the five years that Landon and I have lived in our home in Albany, we have never had family with us in our home for the Winter holidays. My parents and Christine decided that this was a tradition that needed some tweaking. And despite a case of H1N1 that was compounded by pneumonia (my dad was nearly admitted to the hospital), they made it. Yes, my dad's health improved enough just days before the planned excursion. To make it even more exciting, my sister Elizabeth and her family decided to come at the last minute.
Because this was to be a family filled Thanksgiving, Landon and I decided to try some new things. I decided to make the pumpkin pie from scratch. Mmmmmmm scrumptious.
Landon decided to fry the turkey. He made all the arrangements for the fryer, set up a cooking area in the back yard, and supervised the whole cooking process. It was delicious!
Here is the highly anticipated feast. I hope it was enjoyed by all who traveled to our home to share in it with us. It was definitely a memorable week for us.

It was such an awesome weekend. Sorry about the complications that came later that weekend. But complications in all the food and shopping was amazing.
I loved everything about that week! Thanks for letting us fill up your house and eat all your food.
I love the holidays- being with family is the best!! Hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas!
Looks like it was fun. Glad that you had family with you for the holidays because it does really make them brighter.
Looks like a great feast. We are getting excited to see you guys soon.
At least they weren't visiting because Landon's the new bishop ;) How fun!! Having family there for holidays is the best!!
Marcie,
Yes, that truly is something to be thankful for. Especially since I had another brother-in-law (one more in addition to Scott) be sustained the bishop of his ward that Sunday. That makes ONE father-in-law and TWO brother-in-laws currently serving as bishops. Watch out Alan!
How fun. I'm glad that your dad felt well enough to come! And that brother of mine never ceases to amaze me . . . he fried the turkey??? Who knew he had it in him? I've never heard of that, but it does sound (and look) delicious!
