THANKSGIVING

  Thanksgiving was a beautiful day outside.

It wasn't real warm but it wasn't cold either.

It is the first time I have ever considered eating outside...
It really wasn't warm enough for that I don't think.  I think the lure of having ample space for the table was the reason I even entertained that thought!!!

We had a wonderful table, we all ate at it. We combined three table to make the length we needed.  We set it with 3 varied cloths.  And it was beautiful.

We had 4 turkeys this year.  I only took photos of two of them though.
The other 2 were cooked and eaten before I thought to take a photo.

While the food was finished being prepared all the little ones and men went out to rake leaves, or make piles of leaves to play in...

Everyone brought wonderful tasting food... that was enjoyed by all...

       

We loved that everyone was here this year, except Liz who was on her way to So. Africa to visit her parents who are serving a mission there.

After dinner Kate & Abby brought a tradition of Poppies and Grandma Cathy's!!

We enjoyed a Turkey pinata'. It was a great hit with all the kids!!

The day settles in and we all are stuffed sitting around and out come the adds searching for Black Friday bargains!!!

They all work out their wake up and departure times for the bargain hunting to begin. A tradition Becky and Cory brought into the family!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

We recognize we are truely blessed in so many ways.  Certainly to all be together.  Certainly protected, and blessed in so many many seen and unseen ways.  We have thankful thankful hearts...

The day comes to an end we find we still have the heads of 2 pretty proud turkey's!!
