Thanksgiving Day Wrap-up

Well, here are the T-Day pixs. Could these two get any cuter? Devon was good enough to take my camera and be the official photographer for the event, except of course for this one that I took of her and Logan. They are growing too fast- Devon sweetheart, you may be the family baby but you are so not a baby any more. Would you please slow down?!?!

Besides the missionaries, Adam, Kyle, and Gordon was there as well. Always lookin' good bro... NOT! I have seen better shots of you Gordon, but this was the only one Devie got.

And here's Gordon's better looking half; really true in this case.

Oh, and Otto Von Risser was there as well... always looking for anything edible dropped on the floor.

Jeff and I talked Politics.....

But kissed and made up before the evening was over....

And a good time was had by all....

Guess Who's Coming to Dessert?

Why Doug Chabries and family! For those of you who don't know, Doug is our second cousin; his mother, Maxine, was our dad's cousin. This is the family that as kids, we always made the trek to Bountiful, Utah to visit (growing up I thought Bountiful WAS Utah). Well, the always clever Michele conspired with Doug's daughter, Rachel, to bring us all together for dessert after our respective Thanksgiving meals. It was a surprise to both of us.

Fun With Whip Cream... Not What You Think

Devon may have found her niche as an independent and persistent film maker. Following dinner food games were played and recorded by Devon. Not surprisingly, this game involved whip cream (see last years Thanksgiving blog post). This time Devon was behind the camera.

Risser World Takeover Update

Well since Gordon made the announcement official, yes, GK and Susanna are expecting twins in May 2010. And here are all the rest of the newest little ones coming up. Perhaps that entry title should have been "Fairbanks World Takeover".. here we go...

Carlie and Joey: A little girl, Raiha Lane Bainbridge, shown here all tuckered out after a birthing day (imagine how Carlie feels?!?)

born November 20 (same day as Anita's BD); 8lb 6oz 20 inches long.

Nathan and Suzanne Fairbanks: had a little girl, and here she is...

Eva Grace, born September 25, 6 lbs 8oz (exact opposite of Carlie's)

Stephen Randall and Kristin Fairbanks are expecting a girl in January 2010

Paul and Anita Fairbanks are also expecting a little bundle in May 2010 as well.

Did I forget anyone? Even if I didn't, I'm sure there will be new add on's before the May babies are here.
