thanksgiving at the oregon coast


The house on the beach. Thanks mom for making it possible for us all to stay there!

We did lots of relaxing...
Playing guitars....

Made lots of yummy food together... Laura made the stuffing!
Mom made the noodles!
Jeff made the pecan pie.

Hope made the squash!
We played on the beach. The sun was out, and the weather was perfect!

Jason met up with a few waves...
Papa and Luke read some books together...




We watched some beautiful sunsets. Jeff and Laura saw the "green flash" before the sunset one night. I missed it.
The day after was filled with decadent leftovers. note: Bread, turkey, cranberry relish, and homemade noodles.

Jeff convinced me that they bought whiskey from some guy selling it on the side of the road. He was passing the jar around while we waited for the key to get into the house. The truth? It was a to-go jar of Mcminimums micro brew that is locally sold here in Portland.

More playing on the beach,

and playing with aunts and uncles...


This is the only picture of Jason and I from the weekend. Caleb took it!

I am so happy that everyone was able to come together here in Oregon. It was a fun Thanksgiving!

I LOVE that photo of Laura! And it's fun to see her little belly poking out! Very excited for her and Jeff about the new addition! What a great photo of you kissing Jason too. Did Caleb get all embarassed to see you being all 'kissy' Lincoln always gets this funny look on his face when John or I hug or kiss like he's in on a secret joke. :) I really enjoyed seeing all the Bickmeiers together.
