Happy Thanksgiving!!

We hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Ours was nice. We had about 16-22 people over for either dinner, dessert or both. Everyone ate very well. We have so many leftovers though. I gave some the grandparents, and of course some to the parents. We have some as well. Lex enjoyed himself. He took a nap right before everyone began coming over and he was in a GREAT mood for entertaining. He would go up to everyone. Hagen and Maquire (my cousins) had a great time playing ont eh Wii. I think that they want one now. Sorry about that Keith and Toni. We were all very tired by 8:00. By then everyone had left so we packed Lex up and let him spend the night at his Grandparent Williams' house. He was very excited about sleeping over there. Lex was also able to see his cousins Audrey Kate and Ben. He was giving kisses to Audry Kate and would try to give kisses to Ben, but he is too small.
Here are some pictures from the day.






We have also been having issues with our drier. Like everything else in this house it works partially. We had BGE out last friday and the guy said that there is nothing wrong with the drier that there is probably something in the venting system but he is not allowed to look in the vents. So he told us about a sweeper system that you can use and it usually works. So we found it today and tonight my dad, Scott and myself used it in the venting system. Boy did we get out some clogs. We began from thei inside vent, then we moved outside. When we did that, we were tangled on something and the brush would not come out. It was horrible. By the time we got it out we realized that it was tangled in wires (a phone cord and some other wire). So we brushed again from the inside and MORE stuff came out. Here is a picture of everything that came out minus the wirings.





Scott posed for this picture to make it look like he was really helping. He did a great job looking at the pipes and wires in the ceiling of the laundry room. No, he really did help out keeping my calm and making sure that we were not caught on anything in the venting system.
