Give Thanks

 This was the first year that Thanksgiving Dinner was officially held in our home.  It was so nice to have everyone come to our house and enjoy my favorite holiday.  Our floor plan lends to long tables very well.  The kitchen functions really well too.  We had such a great time cooking, talking, watching sports, teasing, and of course, eating!  Thanks to Jon for the marvelous turkey.  I think Daniel may have eaten half of it all by himself!
 Ma had a great time.  Of course she had a little too much fun and pushed herself beyond where her body said to stop, but she has always been stubborn that way (imagine I said that with a smile of contented resignation).  It was so delightful to have her in the kitchen, and playing with the kids.  Joshua shadowed her the whole time.  He wants to be just like Ma.

 I love this picture of Joshua.  He wanted the turkey leg, so dad plopped it on his plate.  He only made it half way through it, but it was a fun 8-year-old moment.

 When will dinner start????

Becky and her world-famous deserts.  I was so glad to assign her all the sweets -- she is soooo good at making goodies!  Maybe its because she is so sweet. ; )
