Thanksgiving '04

We are thankful to be able to gather our family together for a day of fun and feasting on this Thanksgiving day 2004.

Eat first -- talk later. While we know some pantries are empty... We have tables piled full food in every room. Shiloh wants to help Jon with cleanup. Rex set up the cameras for a group shot. Jeff studies for the pilgrim quiz. How many Branch ancestors came on the Mayflower? Isaac Allerton, wife and child, Frances Eaton, Degory Priest ... and more James listens closely The "guys" think it over Curt probably knows all the answers. Kinzi and Jeff tie for high score. Time for the pumpkin carving contest! This is serious work! Jeff draws his own pattern. Some just wanna have fun. Kadi thinks it is yucky business. The finished products. Judges go to work. We have a winner! It is Jeff's headless horseman. Late arrivals greeted by nieces Judi and Judi Junior Wait! Gotta have Shiloh in the picture. Come on Pilgrims - time to read. See ya next year!
