Thanksgiving in Bend w Family!




Last week we celebrated Thanksgiving here in the US...


...and so Nick & I went to Bend to be with the family!  It was a beautiful 5 1/2 hr drive - from here to Roseberg and then through the passes of Hwy 138 to Crater Lake/Diamond Lake area to connect with Hwy 97 to Bend!
Crater Lake
Diamond Lake

(read up on these beautiful sights!)

A Subway to go was enjoyed! 
A "pristine" Day!



It was fun staying at Mar's and to be back in our old home town of Bend!  ...We had a relaxing week, shopping for the Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings...a big FAT turkey, potatoes, vegetables, lots of good eatin'!

Mar had the whole week off, so it was quite a special time together!

We also celebrated my Birthday and that was so sweet - Nick's sis Cecile organized it all and made it so special for me!






The two sisters in the kitchen...preparing the meal...how fun!

Now that was a highlight!


We are making memories!!!
She's a good cook and enjoys preparing a meal...just like me!

Ronnie my brother & Viola also came and so we had a very special Day!






Leslea, Mar's neighbor and friend...also joined us - it was lots of fun being together on such a relaxing day!

We were all very Thankful...to be together on Thanksgiving Day!



Ron carved  the turkey- and it was delicious!  Good job Sis! And we sat down to a very special holiday meal!
(Today was also our oldest brother's John's Birthday and we remembered him!) 


 While we enjoyed a very special day together as a family (such a blessing!) 
it began to snow and snowed ALL day....14 inches!  Wow - such a pretty sight it was...and we were cozy and warm inside the Log Cabin enjoying the fire & a special time together!








Ron & Viola stayed the night - so they wouldn't have to drive home in the evening in the snow, so the next morning we sat around & enjoyed more talking and hanging out...and Maralin made a "good old fashion breakfast like Mom use to make!"

It was so cute to sit down to breakfast that morning...all so  familiar with the 3 siblings together - well you can imagine how special a time we had!  

This Big sis was  Very Very grateful!
