Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.

Thanksgiving 005

First we had to make the feast on this National Gluttony Day.  : - )

When was the last last time you actually saw someone using a can opener like this??






Everybody had a part to play.

Preparation was definitely a family affair.
Thanksgiving 017



We had it on the table by 2:00!

Thanksgiving 020


We have a special family grace that
we sing at each meal.
It starts out with the words
”We give thanks…..”
So it is very appropriate on Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving 023


After we’d gone around the table multiple
times sharing specific things we were thankful
for this year, and then eating more than we should have

……no football or naps just
Thanksgiving 024


And an all too early but lovely sunset

Thanksgiving 033



And then of course you do have to clean up the mess

before you can make the real fresh whipped cream

and eat the PIE

Thanksgiving 040



We closed out the day with a trivia tournament!

  6. Love the eating part. . . not the cleaning up part. Glad you had a nice Thanksgiving.

  7. If only I could limit my gluttony to one day a year, maybe my weight wouldn't be an issue. Good times with family.
