Thanksgiving 2008

Happy Thanksgiving from our home to yours!

We enjoyed a delicious dinner made by everyone. Darren did a wonderful job on the meats! He and Nick played a bit of Turkey bowl before returning home to check on the meat. Jacquie did a fantastic job with the rolls, fruit and sweet potatoes! Nick set a really cool table and Ben helped direct traffic;) We hope that you and your families had plenty to eat and stayed warm and cozy this Thanksgiving!

I am so grateful for each of you, thanks for making our lives more full this year!

Birthday Fun

Happy Birthday Ben!

Ben woke up with a terrible cough and cold:(
He made the best of it though and enjoyed all of our plans to make his day special.

Jacquie and I made Stake Fajitas for lunch.

After a yummy lunch Ben opened his many gifts.

After trying out all his golf equipment we got ready for the evening. You will have to ask Ben what happened on his birthday evening before we left to go see Trans Siberian Orchestra next time you see him.


We all loved the Concert! Another great Show by TSO

Another beautiful evening at the beach!

We like to head to the beach in the late afternoon when we finish our work for the day! Today was the perfect day for just that!

Family fun and games on the beach!

Benjamin's Sweetheart!
Such a handsome husband and father!

Surfers like to use these paddle boards when the waves are small to help build arm and leg muscles.

Fall evenings on the beach are fairly warm and uncrowded here in SC!
As the sun set beyond the Marsh we decided it was time to feed our hunger and headed into Charleston for some fresh seafood!

"Wicked"

A few months ago I was asked if I would be interested in going on a weekend trip to see the Musical "Wicked" with a group of girl's from church. I definitely was and thought Jacquie would be too! So we left for Atlanta on Halloween and after a 5 hr. drive stayed the night at a very nice Hyatt place in Lithonia, Georgia about 30min. outside of Atlanta. We arrived early at the Fox theater in Atlanta, so we could get some pictures and look around the famous theater.

At 11:00pm we finally were ordering dinner at Ruby Tuesday's.

The Fox Theater is a fully restored 1929 "Movie Palace". It seats 4,678 and you can catch a broadway show, the ballet, symphony, concerts and movies there. I heard a rumor that the debut of "Gone with the wind" was shown here.
