Thanksgiving Pictures

We spent Thanksgiving day in MN with my family, and then we went to Chicago for Friday and Saturday to see Ryan's extended family. We got some really good pictures (the one above is of my sweet nephew, Lorenzo) and it was so nice to be with family again!

For those of you who don't know, we've been in Des Moines, IA for about the past month. Ryan had a hard time finding a job for what he does in the Pittsburgh area, so we made the decision for him to take a job in Des Moines. I've been going back and forth, but I'm pretty much here now. We like the Des Moines area a lot, and Ryan really likes his job. We don't know how long we'll be here, but everything will work itself out. So, for all of you in MN, come and visit us! We would love to have you!

Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving:

Everyone had a good time playing poker and Guitar Hero. My dad's in the basement rocking out below! :)
