Thanksgiving

Ahh Thanksgiving... what a GREAT holiday. Football, Food, and Family. What could be better?

The Shaffer Delegation celebrated Thanksgiving in cozy Alamo this year. A downsize from the likes of Aviara or Tahoe, but it was our first holiday in Mom and Dad's new house so that was a milestone!

I did a lot of walking the Res, got ALL my Christmas shopping done (okay, minus Dad!), and spent the majority of the time either watching college football (did you see the UK/Tenn or Stanford/ND games? I think I might have to watch more college games next year).

The highlight, though, was spending with this little guy... the youngest Shaffer- six month old Kyle. Here are two pictures of him eating his FIRST rice cereal. Note he is in a "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" bib. Awesome.




Jono helped Nathan through his FIRST BOWLING GAME EVER!!!!!!



And of course... the Annual Turkey Trot (or big wheel as the case may be). The quote of the weekend came from this walk after my dad stepped in dog poop on the bike trail and spent the next ten minutes trying out various techniques for getting it off such as shuffling through the gravel, a shimmy through the grass, etc. My sister just looks back at him and looks at me and says, "There's nothing worse than poop on the shoe." She's probably right.
