Holbrook Family: Turkey Day

Turkey Day

We had Thanksgiving with Jeff's family this year. We had yummy (of course) dinner with the Holbrook's and then had dessert with the Johnson's. It was fun visiting with family and having Jeff home for a day. I'm grateful that I married into such great families and I'm so grateful for Jeff. He's such a wonderful husband and father.

Jeff and all the girls...

Stan & Mel came to town for Thanksgiving so on Jeff & Niki's lunch break on Friday we all went to Red Robin.

Now that Christmas is in full swing - Emily's wish for everyone this holiday season
