We spent Thanksgiving in Reno again this year where most of our family lives. I am thankful for my husband and very thankful that my husband does the driving and never asks me to do any. I was thankful that our family friend offered her home to us while she was out of town so that we had a very comfortable place to stay (as all other places have been for us as well). I am thankful that my sister is in town from New Zealand. I am beyond thankful that despite the fact that my parents are divorced....we ALL spent Thanksgiving together in the same house at one huge table with many other loved ones as well. I am thankful for the "Egan Cup" bowling tournament that takes place the Friday after turkey day. I will try not to focus on the un-thankful aspects of the trip....like Jeffrey getting sick on the way there and staying sick the entire time....not being able to see family that we should have seen....or that selfish "i don't like myself" feeling I had the majority of the time that made me so unsociable. For now I will be thankful. I have an amazing family and I have my health...and I've heard that that is all I need!
Thanksgiving baking with Auntie Mo!

Ellie smoochin Ireland
what you see is Brian kissing Marissa...what you don't know is that he was doing it because it ticked off his daughter who is very territorial over mommy and slapped his face afterwards.
Jeffrey and Sean
I love this face!
The Egan men
Becci and Dad

As it turns out Ellie is very competitive (who knew?)...and was devastated that she didn't win a trophy. She was convinced that I could buy her one at the dollar store the next day. Sigh.
