Bowling with the Gang :-)

 A group of us went out to Red Robin & bowling.

It was a crazy, fun time, of course!  We had a blast! :-)

It's so much fun to be back with friends & family! :-)

 Sam showing the rest of us how to bowl!

 Abz & Tab

 Can you guess who's foot is whose?

 Tab was doing a terrible job bowling, so Abz did

her hair crazy thinking that that would help!

Actually, it did! :-)

 What a great friend! :-)

 Jo joined in the "hair crazy" fun! :-)

 So did Yuta!  Although, I think he did it more 

for fun than for doing it to help him bowl better!

 Looking through the mess of hair! :-)

 Pab & Mom joined us after a while too.

Mom was helping give us tips as we bowled.

Thanks, Mom!  We needed it! :-)

The common bond of ENV3 phones! :-)

Amanda's Surprise!

 It was so much fun to have Amanda come from

Wisconsin and surprise me for Thanksgiving!

We went out shopping on Friday, and, of course,

I had to take her by the best place! :-)

As you can tell, I don't think she was too pleased!

 Enjoying food & a movie :-)

 

Before Amanda left on Saturday to head back home,

we met up with Anna & Emily for some shopping

and Starbucks :-)  Emily & Amanda didn't take

too long to become fast friends! :-)

Yummy Starbucks! :-)

Thanks for coming, Mooshoo!  Please come again! :-)

Thanksgiving at Uncle Ron & Aunt Diana's

 We celebrated our Thanksgiving at 

Uncle Ron & Aunt Diana's on Friday.

Ryan did a great job carving the turkey! :-)

 Amanda surprised me and came to Michigan

for Thanksgiving!  I was so surprised!  It was

so great to see her again & I was so glad

that she could finally come to MI! :-)

 Enjoying appetizers before the meal

 Gotta love those "Precious Moment" eyes :-)

So glad to have Amanda there as part of the fam! :-)

 Tizzy & Dave

 Nick & Anna

 Brooklyn enjoyed the dog's stairs! :-)

 "Bio Grandma" reading to her great-granddaughter :-)

 Beautiful table decorations, Aunt Diana!

You always do a wonderful job!

 One table...

 ...and the other table!

 Amanda was glad to get her coffee! :-)

 Thumbs up to the great food! :-)

 The Stephen Rains Family

 So glad that you could come, Amanda!!

Love you, Mooshoo! :-)

 The whole clan... well, almost! :-)

Here's our "sister picture" this year.

We missed you, Abby & Mary!

 But Ryan and Nick filled in for you! :-)

Glad to adopt you as a sister, Amanda! :-)

We ended the night by playing Mad Gab :-)
