One of the best!  Very special having Erin officially part of our family.  It&#8217;s been great incorporating some of her traditions such as &#8220;flat bread&#8221;, which was excellent with our 2nd day turkey noodle soup.  Though she tried to slip in &#8220;Elf&#8221; the movie, to watch after Thanksgiving dinner, we ran out of time.  Maybe next year&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Very special too has been celebrating the vacation time with Mark, Robin, and Aron Standley who drove down for a little &#8220;Northway family&#8221; time and some snowboarding.  Bill and Brenda Holden were &#8220;Kidless&#8221; this season.  Jessica is doing a semester in Norway and Adrienna enjoying the Thanksgiving season with aunts, uncles, and cousins in Mn so we were lucky to have them for a brief overnight.<\/p>\n<p>Brenda and I snowshoed out behind Robe River subdivision late yesterday afternoon with Rudy.  We came upon a beautiful bubbling spring that was clear enough to see the salmon eggs nestled along the bottom of the stream bed.  We watched a bald eagle in the cottonwood tree near by, then noticed 2 more hidden among the branches and snow covered bows.  Soon another flew over.  Very quiet, very peaceful.  Beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>The evening evolved into a night of &#8220;Catch Phrase&#8221;, Chinese Numbers, and lots of good food.  Many laughs.<\/p>\n<p>If I were to wrap up the themes of this holiday it would have to be computers and knitting.  Erin and Katie knitted 3 caps between them and Erin moved on into a Christmas sock.<\/p>\n<p>I had purchased Starbuck photo mugs for everyone.  So Erin and Katie were busy pulling pictures from our computers, resizing them, and putting them on the template that Bill 3 created.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This has been a super Thanksgiving.
