Thanksgiving '08

We couldn't have had a better celebration. We ended up having 20 guests. We set up 2 banquets tables from Ryan's work plus the round dinner table we already have. Nicole and I both cooked a turkey and then everyone else brought side dishes and so on. We of course had plenty of wine, beer and soda for drinking enjoyment. Ryan's sister was able to come out to spend her 3rd Thanksgiving with us. It's become a sort of tradition now. It is such a treat for us when any family comes to visit. Ryan is super close with his sister so, it is especially meaningful. Plus, Elliana got some good bonding time with her aunt.

The guest list for the day of thanks was Nicole, Tim & Noah, Sarah (Tim's sister) & Nick (her boyfriend), Penny (Tim's Sister) & Danny (Penny's good friend), Ines (Nicole's Mom), Brittany (Nicole's Sister), Lilly (Nicole's Aunt),Ryan & Chris (Nicole's Cousins), Katie & Jay, Nate (Katie's brother), Gail (Tim's Mom) & Bill (Tim's Stepdad) and then Kelly, Ryan, Elliana and me. It was wonderful, yummy and fun! I definitely missed all my family in CO and MI but it's awesome that we have built such a wonderful extended Vegas family.
