We spent Thanksgiving at the ranch with Christa's family. It was a little unusal. It turned out to be Christa's parents and her brother's family along with Grandma and a cousin and his wife. This is unusual since we normally have a houseful of people for the meal. The meal was uneventful, but delicious. The dressing is always worth the trip. We played Mexican Train and Mimi beat all of us. Daryl was a close second followed by Shanda and Christa. Grandpa Woody and Marshall played in between games. He is so cute and so different from Brenna. He loves the tractor and is a rough and tumble boy. Christa and Daryl went home on Friday morning since she had to work, but Greerson stayed and worked with Grandpa Woody on the deer stand. He also nearly wrecked the truck, he was going down the hill and didn't hit the brakes soon enough (we suspect that was due to the Bad Boy Buggy, it stops if you let off of the accelorator), and he and Stephen headed into some brush. Grandpa Woody had him on the tractor and he managed to break the shredder in the first few minutes. He was mowing along and hit some rocks that were hidden by the brush and knocked the wheel off of the shredder. All in all he had a great time, but I am not sure the ranch equipment would agree!
