Thanksgiving with the Wilstead and Perez families

Thanksgiving 2012 at Clarissa's house.
The Perez family joined the fun.
Manuel, Autumn and Manuel's father-Francisco Perez
Activities included story telling by Ava
Papa brought Balsam wood airplanes.
Papa, Clarissa and Kaela displays the airplane.
Gabriel using the hand puppets in a skit
Isla on the ground, others showing their puppets to the camera
Grace loves the dinosaur hand puppets.
The day after Thanksgiving the Wilstead girls helped me set up the
Christmas decorations. My mom (Grandma Ginner) crocheted these many years ago. 
She also gave these to me a few years before she passed away.
This year I added a nativity created in Montana in honor of Elle.
She's serving a mission in Montana; she'll be home June 2013.
Ava delights in the little people in the city.
Usually Elle does the decorating;their help was greatly appreciated.
At the end of the day, Papa is in heaven watching a movie
with his side kick Ava.
