Thanksgiving 2009

We went to our family (Dad's side of the fam) in Oklahoma for Thanksgiving! We always love doing this because my cousin, Jason, lives on a beautiful piece of land. He built his house (all of it), a fun treehouse (one side for girls and one side for boys), and a lake in the back (yes, he dug that). All in all, it's a relaxing time of being outside with 4-wheelers, tubing on the 4-wheeler, lots of food, lots of family, guitars, singing, pictures, kiddos, more food...you get the picture. Jason and Jamie have our dream house and land! There's something about raising your family in a big, open space with trees and water and lots of room to roam around in.

Here's the Hogue clan - Grandma and Grandpa Hogue, 4 children (and spouses), 7 grandchildren (and spouses), and 10 great grandchildren.


My dad was playing fetch with their dog and Bella LOVED it. She was laughing with one of those deep, belly laughs. Cutie!
Grandma and Grandpa by "their" car. It was actually a rental that was brought to the partay. Aren't they cute posing by it though! Grandpa is 88 and going as strong as ever. I hope I got some of his genes.

Bella got in on the car-picture action. But don't worry....

Mom was close by!




Allison and her man walking! Aren't they fun?!Another family picture.

Walking with sweet Bella!

Happy Thanksgiving from the Smith's!
