Your scrapblog editor and son Noah were lucky enough to be invited to ChrisMiller!ChrisMiller!'s house for Thanksgiving. Some snapshots from that lively event:
 |
| After the scrapblog editor told stories about her recent Miller-family-roots-seeking trip to North Carolina, including one about how our grandmother's first husband died in the influenza pandemic of 1917-18 and she went on to take a second husband, a Miller, we went around the table telling what we were grateful for. Hannah Miller, 18, paused thoughtfully and said, "I'm grateful for the 1918 influenza epidemic, because without it, we wouldn't be here." |

| Moriah likes turkey! |
 |
| Other guests include Lavone, Dan, Marty and Nick Broberg. Marty and CMill got all tough in the kitchen. By the way, congrats to Marty, who will enter the U.S. Marines in April 2012! |
 |
| No Miller family gathering is complete without people posing for photos for that well-known photographer Mary Miller. She managed to get the young people -- Nick Broberg, Zachary Miller, Noah Miller Johnson, Moriah Miller and Marty Broberg -- together for this shot. Most of them posed nicely. (Hannah was missing because she had to take a nap before her late-night Black Friday shift at Hollister.) |
 |
| Then they got goofy -- at least those scamps Moriah and Marty did. |
 |
| Then things really deteriorated! Luckily, no one was hurt and no property was damaged. |
 |
| Foster dog Ty enjoyed the attention and the turkey scraps. |
 |
| The festivities were exhausting, especially for little Avamarie Miller, 3. She wore her wedding dress -- or at least it looked like a wedding dress -- for the occasion. Happy belated Thanksgiving, everyone! |
