Thanksgiving 2007

On with the Time-Travel-Blogging...

Thanksgiving '07 was quite a shindig. Relatives from Utah and California came to our home for our annual Thanksgiving in Murrieta^tm reunion. This has fast become a family tradition, and we look forward to it every year.

As usual, we kicked off the festivities with a trip to Disneyland on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.

Here's Maddie, Cassie, Shayne, Dan, Jillian, Josh, Micah and Jonathan looking appropriately Happy in the Happiest Place on Earth. Yes, Uncle Dan wears his sunglasses at night.


Here we are riding Tower of Terror at Disney's California Adventure. We went the cheap route and took a blurry picture of the screen rather than forking over the $35 to actually buy it. If you can make out who is who, you deserve a medal.


Here's Shayne, Josh, Jillian, Cassie and Micah standing on a pile of pirate booty on Tom Sawyer's Island. Shortly after this picture was taken, Micah vanished and it took us about half an hour to find him again.

Fun Fact:
As of the release of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Tom Sawyer's Island is now called "The Pirate's Lair."

The rest of Thanksgiving went off without a hitch. Days were spent lounging, watching movies, playing Guitar Hero III and making skits.

In fact, here is a short film we made. Ben wrote and directed and Micah stars as the young man who has a little too much caffeine in the morning. It's called, appropriately, "The Caffeine Movie."

Thanks to everyone for coming down and making this the Best Thanksgiving Evar^tm. At least until next Thanksgiving ... in three whole months.
