Thanksgiving at Aunt Pamela's & Ethan's Engagement

 We all went to Pamela's house for Thanksgiving (our family & Mom & Dad Carter).  And Ethan brought his fianace Tiffany over to meet our family.  Yes--he got engaged the day before Thanksgiving!!!  
Here is a picture of Ethan proposing:  (not great lighting, but love Tiffany's reaction)
Ethan carefully opened a new deck of cards & wrote this on the Queen of Hearts.  Then they played "Slap Jack".  Fun!
Tiffany is a sweetheart & fits right in with our family!  We were a bit concerned since she is an only child (from Florida) & we are a loud, crazy bunch!  But as you can see in the pictures... 
 She fit right in!  And Ben has a new sister!!  (dog pile on Ethan--everyone except Brienna)
 Ben & Emmalee doing a Loony-Toons puzzle.
 it's a round one that Janna Lee & I used to do when we were kids.
 All of Aunt Pamela's ducks piled onto Ethan & Tiffany
 Emmalee being the best potato peeler ever!  She loves to peel potatoes (and carrots). 
 Perparing Thanksgiving dinner (Mom & Dad Carter, Pamela & Rusty)
 Brienna had to take this picture==It was easier for Rusty to climb on the island/bar than to stand by me at the sink.  I actually forgot to take pictures of us eating our Thanksgiving dinner!  oops :)
The day after Thanksgiving, we get all of Pamela's Christmas decorations out & decorate her house.
 Putting the tree up--and then Ethan (& Tiffany) put the outside Christmas lights up.  Callum put most of the lights up inside the house & on the porch.
 This is a great picture--of my 7 kids.  I will definitely claim Tiffany as mine.  It's nice to gain another daughter!

I remember doing the Looney Toons puzzle with you! But I don't quite understand why Rusty is on the island counter? What is he doing while he's up there?
