Hope your Turkey was Tasty!

My dearest loved ones... I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! We (the Hatches, Boyd's family, Brent and Rex, my family, and Don Borrowman) had a really nice day. After a very satisfying feast, including 12 pies, most of the women folk enjoyed watching all the men folk do the dishes. I say most of us because it was a difficult task for dear Cathy. She sat stiff in her chair for several minutes. When I asked her how she was, she said, "Nervous." Everyone got along really well, the kids didn't fight... much ... and the adults enjoyed the variety of conversations that always abound: religion, politics, bodily functions, sports, school, home projects, kids, more religion, more politics.... The kids were WAY into DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) and we could hear them thumping and jumping upstairs. Jenny and Janie found an old tube of Mom's lipstick and with their lucious lips and fancy dress up clothes, they entertained themselves for hours. It was just a nice day. It's been a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday. We've watched movies and eaten food and played games and eaten more food and talked and eaten food and slept. Then we wake up and eat more food. I have to tell a story about Boyd, who had a bit of a sour stomach after so much food. He had gas. At one time, Russ and LeAnn and I were in the doorway to the dining room when we heard a rumble in the other room. LeAnn went to investigate and, sure enough, it was Boyd.in the office. We heard his toot halfway across the house! Later that night, when we were playing games, Boyd bent over to his left to pick up a game piece and some of that loud gas escaped. Consequently, LeAnn was sitting on his right side and got the full blast. After declarations of disgust and lots of laughter, Boyd still had to retrieve the game piece. Being conscious of LeAnn he leaned to his right to try to get it. Lorn Sleem (a friend from England who is attending BYU), who was sitting to Boyd's left jumped out of his seat and said, "Don't aim that at me!" Welcome to America! We laughed until we cried.

Alright. I'm done. Love to you all! Camille

SPORTS CLIPS WANTED

We're deep into the sporting season. All of you who have video cameras need to put video clips of your kids in their sporting events. For that matter you need to put video clips of all types of your family activities on hear. I think everybody has cable or DSL internet now so there's no excuse for not being able to do this due to a slow internet connection.

We couldn't wait either.....

Chris called Dad and Mom tonight and wished them a Happy Thanksgiving.

WE JUST COULDN'T WAIT!!!!!

Well,
We were going to wait until tomorrow night to put up our tree but we just couldn't wait. We put it up this past Sunday. We've got lots of lights to put up. We're doing colored lights this year so our house won't have that elegant look that white lights give. Instead it will be full of color and life like our household of animals. (when you visit you'll find out)
We'll get lots of pictures as we get them so everyone can see how many lights we really have. Let's put it this way, I'm installing a four socket outlet on the outside of our house to accommodate the lights we'll be putting up. It's going to be an adventure.

Love always.
