After several years of Thanksgiving with the Kalemba/Tanner clan, we thought it time for a Thanksgiving weekend in Bruneau.   Flights were so crazy expensive that we opted to drive.  We got in Wednesday evening and then spent the following three days with all of Lee's immediate family.  Everyone contributed a little something to turkey dinner (I made lots of desserts) and we really enjoyed spending the day with the crew.   It was a beautiful day and we spent the afternoon outside on the playground of vehicles and tractors and Kate showed us her stuff on the motorcycle.  I missed my family and our traditions (I've only ever missed four Thanksgivings prior to this one -two on my mission, one while living in Italy and one while at school on the east coast), but the cute nieces and nephews were worth it.  

The Merrick brothers spent all of Friday tearing down the "green shed" out front.   And while the boys worked outside, us girls hung out and played with the kids.  Saturday was more of the same before everyone departed back to Boise and Twin.  We stayed Saturday night and got some time in with Cole & Connor before leaving first thing on Sunday for the drive back.  We had a great weekend and wish we got to see everyone more often.

Pictures of the weekend and Max's infatuation with tractors are in the gallery.  :)
