Bush, family gather for holiday

CRAWFORD, Texas -- President Bush is celebrating Thanksgiving in traditional American style -- turkey dinner with the family. Granted, it's a free-range turkey, and the family includes a former president.

Bush was spending a six-day holiday weekend at his Texas ranch.

His wife, Laura, and twin daughters Barbara and Jenna rode down on Air Force One Tuesday evening, and Jenna's boyfriend, Henry Hager, was spotted at her side as she exited the airplane. The twins also are celebrating their 24th birthday tomorrow.

The president and first lady disembarked carrying their Scottish terriers, Barney and Miss Beazley. An aide followed behind with a carrier holding the first cat, India.

Former President George H.W. Bush and his wife, Barbara, were also on the guest list for today's dinner, along with Laura Bush's mother, Jenna Welch.
