Thanksgiving

We enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving this year with Kyle's Ohana. We celebrated with Mom and Dad, Maile and Parvin and family, Logan and Shayla, and Grandpa Allen and his wife, Sally, at mom and dad's home in Gresham. We had yummy food and great company and all I had to make was the rolls and a veggie tray! Many hands make light work, indeed! We had fun talking, hearing some stories from Grandpa, and playing lots of Opeshaa (sp??)---a McCune family favorite.

The day before Thanksgiving the Costco near Alva & Wendy's house in Camas had its grand opening, so we decided to go up and spend the night at their house. It's crazy how excited people get over a grand opening (we had a new McDonald's built near us recently and man, you'd think it was Disneyland or something!). Anyway, I digress; and I have to admit, it was fun! I've never seen so many taste testings! We practically had lunch there:). It is across the main road from their house, so we decided to save ourselves waiting in the traffic (huge line up just to get into the parking lot!), and we walked. Wendy and I went with some of her friends around noon, then later that evening we took the dads and kids. Tee hee! And we had a blast hanging out with the Barneys and spending the night. Kyle played in the Turkey Bowl with Alva's ward before we headed over to his parent's for Thanksgiving.

Following the turkey dinner, Maile and Parvin were gracious enough to let us crash that night at their house so we didn't have to drive all the way home. We had fun talking and laughing until we headed home the next afternoon. That was Kyle's birthday but we had a low-key day, watching football, eating leftovers and playing with the kids. He said that was all he wanted to do but I hope he wasn't too disappointed I didn't have a lavish party planned for him. Sorry, babe! I love you!
