Our Thanksgiving, the Story......
WE started out the morning writing down on our poster (created in 2010) what we were Thankful for. I love pulling this out every year and looking at years past. Their little handwriting, the sometimes silly little things they loved (thomas the train for one). Usually, they were always Thankful for Mom and Dad, family, snow and the season.
WE made the 2 hour ride down to the P5's house. SO thankful they decided to host all of us (really the best location for everyone to come).
HOw many guys does it take to peel potatoes. Who knew they could be cooked in a crock pot!
It was a beautiful day in the 60's...meaning kids could be outside MOST of the day. They took full advantage.
I LOVE this.
and This....smiles :)
Kids watching xmas movies (elf for starters)
The app spread!
Siblings.....what a great day to all together.
Mom and kids.....
BOys will be boys.....They will always remember fun times with their cousins.
Two turkeys...one baked, one fried.
She loves her great grandma.....
gathering.
ALl of her 12 (and 13th on the way!) great grandchildren were there. What an amazing blessing.
Kudos to our hostess!
I love these people.
last one at the "kids table"
an amazing peanut butter cake.
Whole families together rocks.
9 grandkids.
The highlight of the day for me was when we paused to all say what we were thankful for. S o much this year.
Amazing Day, Amazing hostess, Amazing life.
Love this family.

Thanksgiving 2014.....
The icy snowy beautiful day started with Work. Holidays aren't so bad at work anymore now that the kids are getting older. We work around it and I am happy to be of service to those who are sick and can't be at home.
Afterwards THIS crew gathered at my house....for food and festivities. Really I'm so blessed.
I think I am going to carry on the tradition of making Nanny's cheese ball at holidays.
WE had the kids make the table cloths....it kept them busy for exactly 12.3 minutes
made my own cheesecake from scratch too....loved it!
I always stress about everything coming together at the same time and staying warm. Although with this crew, there is not much pressure to be perfect (thank god!)
They cooked the farm turkey (first year getting it from the farm) on the Big Green Egg, honestly we will probably never cook it another way.
brothers (in-law)
Yep, we have fun together....almost two teenagers in the house (at least they think they are!)
Brought out the "good china" even though everyone would have been just as happy with paper. I'm just startting to understand now why you register for this stuff in your 20s.
The crew. Love them all so much/
They ate alot of rolls.
Then wrote down why they are thankful.
Yeah, they ate pretty much just rolls.
on to the clean up :( and a walk for the adults.....
and mocie Time (broke out the Christmas movies and they watched ELF....love that one!)
They are outdoor kids at heart really, and came in in a big sloppy wet mess. Glad for the snow they could play in.
What a great year :)
