Happy Thanksgiving!

It was a wondeful Thanksgiving here in Koyuk, although I do wish I could have been with my family in WI. It's a tradition here for me to go to Jason and Myra's for Thanksgiving. They are like my 2nd family here. They also have two kids (Myra's younger sister and brother) who are so fun to be around. I cooked the turkey this year and it turned out pretty good along with the pumpkin cream cheese pie and sweet potatoes. Myra's Gram has also been joining us the past three years and she is the sweetest Gram you'll ever know. She calls me her adopted grandaughter. She is my Alaskan Grandma and I love her a lot! Myra's brother David and our neighbor Joe also came. I made everyone wait for 45 mintues because the turkey was not done. It was well worth the wait because all the food was delicious! It's a treat to have a fresh spinach salad with other veggies.

We relaxed, talked, took crazy photos, and some serious ones. Berry was well behaved until she peed on the floor and DID NOT MISS MYRA'S FOOT. Good thing it wasn't Gram's foot!

We played charades and that was hilarious!

I am so thankful for so many things; here are some.
