Thanksgiving

Hi everyone
SO here is what is going on with Ben's family. Becca is having her baby tomorrow and she is planning on blessing her the Sunday after Thanksgiving. All of Ben's family is going to Portland for Thanksgiving. I thought it would be a good idea for all of us to have dinner together, but Becca's oldest son has a disorder where he can't be around big crowds or he freaks out and it gets really bad. Becca just wants to have all of Ben's family at her house for dinner and then our family will just be at Sheldon and Julie's. She just thinks that will be easier so that works for us, me and Ben will be at Sheldon and Julie's for dinner so we don't have to worry about having 30 people in the same house. Becca would like to get together sometime and have a game night or something so I'll have to find out more information about that. Sorry for the confusion on everything. We miss all of you so much and can't wait to see you. Love you all
Holly and Ben.

Hi Everyone
We have a twin size air mattress for Matthew for Thanksgiving. We are excited to be together again and to be in Oregon. Julie everything sounds great for the food. We will be seeing everyone there.
Love mom

Thanksgiving Update

Hi everyone! I was just trying to think of a way we could all communicate about Thanksgiving and I thought the blog would be perfect. Holly just told me that Ben's family will be joining us for Thanksgiving dinner here in Oregon. Sounds fun! Just a heads up-our house will probably be crowded because our living room is probably a little smaller than Heidi's. We are going to try to get some tables and chairs from the church.

Can everyone bring their own bath towel and blankets? We have one air mattress and one twin bed. I was thinking that Lance and Des could have their own room with their family and Jared and Heidi could have a room for their family. One room has a twin bed. We are going to move some of the furniture out so that each family could fit in their room. I was thinking that Paul and Carol could sleep in our living room-I know they have an air mattress that they could bring. Mathew could also sleep in the hallway or our laundry room or even on the roof-just kidding. But it would be good if we could get a twin size air mattress or some sort of bedding for him that would fit in our laundry room or hallway perfectly. Does anyone have one? Heidi said she has portable crib for Sidney and two kids could sleep in the twin bed we have.

As far as the meal goes could everyone say what they would like to have at Thanksgiving dinner and I could make up a list of what we want to eat and then we could divide up the responsibilities for making the food. Sheldon and I can go shopping beforehand to get all the food. Ben's family will also be bringing stuff for the meal.

Here's what Sheldon and I were planning on for the meal so let me know if there is something that you want to have that is not on this list:

turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, funeral potatoes, rolls, gravy, cranberry sauce, corn, & stuffing

pies & vanilla ice cream-pumpkin, cherry, apple, oreo, banana cream

Sheldon said he can get the SUV limo on Thanksgiving day and we could go out for a ride in it. I think that sounds fun!
