Thanksgiving at The Steinkes

For the last 3 or 4 years we have been going up to my sisters house for Thanksgiving. It's not to far to drive only about 5 or 6 hours but it's close to New York so we can't avoid traffic. We get stuck in it every year, but once we get there we have a great time. My sisters husbands family comes and cooks and celebrates with us. Her husbands mom is a great cook and does alot of the work. We are very grateful to her. We go shopping, help my sisters boys deliver their Christmas Weaths, play games, go to the movies. This time we went and saw "New Moon"." Just being together is what it is all about. I wish all are family lived closer together.

I think L- had too much Turkey.

Sharing the love and a chair.

Cousins watching a movie together.

Nice picture.

K- is soo full he can barely raise his hand.

I'm so full I can't move.

Enjoying our thankgiving dinner.

Eating and talking.

What a handsome boy!

At one time we were all at the table together.

The big feast!!

About Us

K- and I met in Colorado in 1997 while I was serving a full time mission for my church. My companion and I were out tracting and we knocked on K's- door just has he was pulling up in the driveway. He thought we were the girl scouts bring him his cookies,(haha) he had ordered the month before. Once he saw who we were he let us in and we taught him the 1st discussion, and came back every week until he was baptised.

I returned home a few months later and we kept in contact. K- was very persistent and patient with me, but he finally asked me to marry him after 1 1/2 at home. We were married in 1999 in the Seattle, Bellevue Temple on April 9th. We have been married 11 years now and have lived in many places; Colorado,Conneticut,Washington, Colorado(again), and Virginia.

We currently live in Virginia. K- works for the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers Middle East District and has for the last 6 years first as a contractor then term and now perminent. He also is an E-8 in the U.S. Army reserves. He has served and worked in Iraq several times. He travels to different places on occasion, in and out of the country. He works very hard for his family and we appreciate all he does for us.

G- is a at home mom, she teaches Jazzercise at a local gym, she has been teaching for 5 years and loves it! She also teaches the youth at our church, will be subbing at the local schools and has been accepted into the Bachelors program online in the fall.

We have 2 daughters 10 yrs and the other 6 yrs they are full of lots of positive energy, they love ballet,swimming,biking, playing, and their American Girls.

B- is in fourth grade this year, she does very well. She is a very easy going child, gets along with most anyone, is very helpful at home and is a great babysitter. She loves to listen to music, dance, and is very good at it.

L- is very spunky first grader, always laughing and giggling and having fun, but also very sensitive, her drama will make her rich someday.

We also have a dog named Little Ann, she barks at everything, has more attitude then all us girls put together, and loves K- more then us. But we love her still the same, I guess;)
