Victor admiring one of his perfectly cooked turkeys!
Brad came home from the hospital Thanksgiving day so we really didn't plan on doing anything for Thanksgiving this year knowing that he probably wouldn't feel up to it. Especially since the surgery site was in front of Brad's neck and the surgeon said he would have a really sore throat for weeks.
The Holts were so kind and invited us anyway, just in case.
And good thing they did, because Brad was miraculously healed, and enjoyed the full meal (which was absolutely delicious)
and amazing desserts, without any problems at all. He even had enough energy to stay and visit entirely too long!
Aubrey, Breck & Iris, and Merinda spent Thanksgiving weekend in Buhl, Idaho with Grandpa Manwaring and Grandma Virginia.
Breck helping with the meal prep (at least I hope that's what he is doing).
Iris and Merinda also helping out in the kitchen. Virginia just amazes me with how much cooking and cleaning she is constantly doing for all of the family (which includes my bunch about every other weekend)! We sure love and appreciate everything she does, and the overwhelming hospitality she and Victor give our kids every time they visit!
Brittney spent the whole week of Thanksgiving in California, exploring Sean's neck of the woods, in the Bay area. Above, is a picture of Sean's childhood home, which is father built.
They stayed with Sean's childhood friend and his wife, and Sean's older sister Christy, who is the last of Sean's siblings to still live in the Bay area.
Definitely one of the highlights for Brittney and Sean (since they are such foodies) is eating amazing food like Brittney's breakfast of Egg's Benedict with Hollandaise sauce over fried chicken n' biscuit, with a side of hash-brown potatoes, and Banana Foster pancakes. Dang!
They had a great time seeing all the sites with Christy,
especially San Francisco!
And of course they had to visit the Full House house, since that was one of Brittney's favorite shows growing up.
They also got some epic pics of the Golden Gate Bridge!
Other than the unseasonably cold weather, they had a very memorable visit!
