The beautiful icicles forming!

Saturday night we had a yummy Turkey cooked by Trevor and Tom. They boys had to work very hard to get the too big turkey in the rotisserie machine. They tried to put it in but it was WAY to big so Trevor cut the wings off. They started the bird and after a little bit it started to smoke. The stuff they had tied the bird up with wasn't working and the bird would hit the side ever time it turned and a big puff of smoke would come out of the machine. SOOO they had to pull the bird out and shave off some of the legs so the machine was not smoking every few seconds. The turkey turned out wonderful after all was said and done. Every year it seems like there is something with the bird. One year the rotisserie machine made the annoying squeaking noise every time it turned and we all thought we were going to go crazy from the noise. Finally Trevor took some olive oil and covered all the parts with the oil and it worked, no more squeaks.

We were sad to not see all of our friends this year because of the snow or other plans but we are hoping everyone will be able to make it next year. We had a small intimate group this year which we loved just the same. It was fun catching up with old friends we don't get to see very often. I think that is our favorite part of the weekend...We are so thankful this year for the friends we have met during this FUN weekend.

For dinner we had all the fixings and it was yummy as always.

Thanks to Larry and Wee Gee for always being willing to share their wonderful cabin with all of us over this weekend. They always make us and the kids feel so welcome and right at home!
