Thanksgiving 2010

A great time - and delicious food - with family and friends. Thanks to sister Julie for hosting the gathering of the Benton clan this year, and the Cox family as special guests. So glad Cheryl's brother, David, was able to be with us, and friend Mike Minor and son, Chad. Nate's girlfriend, Megan, was able to make the trip with him. Elizabeth, Chris and the grandkids caravaned with them, and so we got to visit with both our kids in Phenix City. I think our final count was approx 35 folks.

Nate and Megan traveled on up to Cullman with us on Friday night and we spent time showing off Cullman on Saturday and shopping - had to buy some new #1 Auburn stuff - and then they had to return to Fort Worth on Sunday.

Elizabeth and family stayed over in Phenix City to visit others, and will arrive later today (Weds, Dec 1) for a few weeks at least. Counting on the grandkids to add ornaments to the Christmas tree that Barron and I set up yesterday.

Posting some pictures. You can find a video clip on Facebook, and hope to upload a few more. Nate had a flip camcorder with him that we just had to try out. Also took time to make new family pictures.
