Thanksgiving

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends. We had both families here and cooked the feast for 13 people. I think it was our biggest year yet. Audrey was so excited to see her Aunt Emily and Uncle Rod, Uncle Ryan and Justin, both sets of grandparents and Great Grandma! She was in heaven bossing everyone around and telling them how to play with her.

We cut down our tree this weekend and did most of the Christmas decorating. Unfortunately I do not have pictures from our weekend at all. The decision to get a new camera was made for us when Ben dropped ours. It is now dead. It's OK though. We were planning on it anyways since ours is very outdated and not taking great pictures. We're ordering a new one today because I don't want to go through December without a camera. Any advice on a good one?

I'm sure I'm already too late, but we have a Nikon D40 (I think they're called something different now, but it's the most basic SLR by Nikon) and we love it. They're a little more expensive but worth it to us. Even Brett is happy with it and he never wants to spend extra money. :) I even take the kids "formal" pictures now. The two negatives for us are 1. it doesn't take video (the new ones may though) and 2. it's big. We decided to get a second smaller camera to keep in my purse and to also take video. It's a Samsung L210. I'm neither for or against it. Let us know what you decide. I'm sure it will just be nice to have a camera again!!
