Thanksgiving 2008



I loved Thanksgiving 2008! For lots of reasons it was really special, but topping the list was having Dosen here to celebrate with. We are so thankFULL for him!


Serious about this meal!


It was also extra special to share the day with friends and family. Jake's mom, Donna, came from Kentucky for a few days, but our boys know her as
Deeda (Abulita in its originally intended form).



Jake has the best job ever in working with college students, so it was a great treat to have several of the students who did not go home for Thanksgiving join us.

(L-R) Jake, Nicole, Connor, Andrea, Carl, Bayo, & Karis

These guys were so much fun to have as a part of our family, and our boys loved all the attention. Dosen was a little taken with Bayo, our Nigerian friend!

It was with much fear that we dove into preparing a meal for 10+, but Jake was definitely master of the kitchen. Everything was so delicious. Way to go, babe!

And finally, a fun little clip of Dosen doing post-meal entertainment. Luke later led a fabulous dance party, but unfortunately the camera wasn't rolling then.
