Thanksgiving at Grandma and Grandpa Barrus' House

Thanksgiving at Grandma's house was a special one this year, because my Aunt and Uncle Petersen and their daughter Michelle and her family came to visit for the holiday. It was so good to see them and I'm so glad they were able to work it out in their schedules to come spend time with all of us. I think that's the thing I hate the most about growing up, I haven't seen a lot of my cousins for a really long time because we're all grown up and living life, and it's hard to get everyone together. C'est la vie, right? Here's some pictures of the fun at Grandma's house. 


Savannah and her little boy Kade


Heather and Brandon

My nephew Topher, can't believe how big he is getting


Michelle's boys were watching a movie in Grandma and Grandpa's office


Travis and his wife Sam


Michelle's boy Quinten was such a cutie! He had no problems getting passed around to anyone that was willing to hold him. He was starting to get a little rash on his neck, so Heather too his shirt off and rubbed some lotion on him. He was having a good time playing with the bottle after that.

Grandpa and Kyle


Tyler's wife Allison (whose 5 months pregnant in this pic) and my Dad


Michelle's boy David and Topher playing with my Dad's phone

Grandma wanted to show us her plant that only gets flowers in the winter. I can't for the life of me remember the name of it though. 


Grandpa and Grandma Barrus, aren't they so cute?!

I wanted to get a picture with all the cousins, but the Comstock kids took off before I could get them in the picture.

My grandmother had a plant like your Grandma Barrus's, and she called it a Christmas Cactus. Just a little FYI.

I still remember your Grandpa helping us at Girls Camp in Coeur d' Alene. We couldn't have gotten along without him.

Debbie, I think that is what she called it! Thanks for clearing it up. =]

I think it's so cool that you knew my Grandparents in Coeur d'Alene. I'm glad that he was such a help at girls camp. There are so many things that I wish I would have been able to learn from my Grandpa.
