Thanksgiving 2008

Both of our families live just outside of Indianapolis so it is very easy for us to see everyone over the Thanksgiving holiday! Chris and Blake started out with the annual Turkey Bowl football game which was held at Dillon Park this year. I went over to Mom and Dad's to help cook (oh and Randi got to come along). The big deal of Thanksgiving this year was the "Mystery Guests" that my parents talked about. Blake and I both got 3 questions to ask about these guests. 2 weeks ago I was out of questions to ask and couldn't come up with an answer of who the guests were going to be. I was at Bob Fearrin's 50th Anniversary of being in business in Carmel and he accidentally spilled the beans. Mom and I were getting ready to leave his open house at his office and he said see you on Thursday and I said ah ha, the mystery guests are Mr. & Mrs. Fearrin!!! What a fun time we had though! And the weather was nice enough that we attempted to take our annual Christmas photo.

Friday we did our usual Sunday routine, sleep in until Randi wants to get up (like 7:30am) and work out and eat at Panera. We attempted to go to a couple stores to shop and then I went downtown to have lunch with Web and Mo. It was great to catch up with them!

Friday evening was our annual Beaver, Fearrin, McHugh, Voris Christmas Party. Molly and her husband Jesse aren't usually in town over the holidays and this year they were here for Thanksgiving so we had our party early! What a treat to have all the 4 families and their kids and their kids kids!! I went a little crazy with the camera and took many photos of all the babies (5 of them this year, Carter, Lilly, Kennedy, Ansley and Ella). What a wonderful tradition! To the right you will see Carter and his Dad Kyle and below that is Ella. To the left you will see Ansley and Lilly and I didn't get any photos of Kennedy (sorry!) though I bet you can see them on the Applegate blog.....





Saturday we hopped in the car and headed to Batesville. When we arrived we were challenged to a game of Wii bowling. Chris's parents purchased a Wii and it got its fair share of playing this weekend! We had a wonderful meal on Saturday and lots of playing the Wii and I might add that I kicked butt in bowling! I am horrible at golf on the other hand. Wow, what a long post!
