With several weeks off from school for Bryan, before Thanksgiving, they made the long drive from Glendale, AZ all the way to OR. The Johns' opened their home to them for a half way rest spot which was gratefully appreciated. Emily joined them for the last leg up to Portland. We had such a terrific time with them here. Can you see why? Look at this adorable face. What a joy to wake up every morning to her smiles and happy nature.

Bryan always has to have a project. He heard that Dad wanted some trees down in our backyard. Despite the downpour of buckets of rain, Bryan stuck with it and with a hatchet cut down four trees. Our neighbors below us planted firs very close together. They have since grown very high and block our once gorgeous view to Portland. We need more light in our backyard and we're glad to have those trees down. We can't thank you enough, Bryan.
There were fun times with cousins. The Caudle's and the Vance's came over for Sunday dinner and visiting.

Meredith & Bryan didn't get a chance to dance at the reception. Finally, when they got home with no kids to bother them, (except for Grandma taking pictures!), Bryan put on some music so they could dance.
Having Meredith & Bryan's family here for Thanksgiving was a wonderful treat. We're grateful Emily could come with them. We loved having her radiant spirit in our home and feel of her excitement after having recently received her mission call to Argentina.
