Thanksgiving 2010






We had fun gathering together for Thanksgiving 2010. The Schaffners came down from Utah and Lloyd and I flew down from Portland and~of course~Nick and Lindey and Reed and Megan's families had just moved to the area that year. We missed Katie's family and Rebecca's and Jim's!


Our (Lloyd and Annette's) first house. Nick and Lindsey were kind enough to drive us over to the other side of Phoenix to check it out. It was built in 1975. We were so proud of it! The neighborhood wasn't too bad but the area had, of course, been so built up over those years.

Does anybody know how to get rid of the photobucket sign that keeps appearing on my BLOG? It keeps saying that an image has been deleted~
