Thanksgiving!

My mom has always gone all out for Thanksgiving, with so many different dishes, you can hardly fit samplings of everything on one plate: turkey, mashed potatoes, candied yams, pineapple & cheese, jell-o salad, carrots & cauliflower, pomegranate salad, green salad, crescent rolls, & stuffing. And of course for dessert, she makes so many different kinds of pie: raselberry, pumpkin, apple, chocolate, coconut, banana, & then bread pudding by special request.

The table's all set


Dennis & Gail came up for the celebration.


My dad carved the turkey.


Will fed his cousin, Carter, in the high chair.

Two Grandmas = a lot of LOVE


Scott had to work a 48-hour shift the 2 days before Thanksgiving.  He was exhausted when he got home.


Trying to force-feed Will some turkey. I think he's going to be a picky eater.


Will is officially walking.


After dinner, we took a break down by the trampoline. My dad opted for the cement slide rather than taking the stairs down.


It was so much fun watching Will jump on his knees & walk on the tramp - he had really great balance!




Learning to give Carter a high five




Jumping with Mama


Will loves the swing.


Aren't the leaves beautiful?



2nd go-around of dinner


Dennis w/ his picture-taking.


My brother, Brad, has a thing about forcing his kids to learn their abs at a young age. Wes was very serious about keeping his body straight.


Showing Rachel the beautiful new fabrics I bought for one of my next projects.


Nothing says "fun" like a napkin.


Wes & Rach


Cole, Drew, & Sammie wrestled with Scott while he watched football.


Dessert time: Mmm Mmm Good!


All bathed & ready for bed in new Christmas jammies from Nana.

  7. WOW!! What a fun Thanksgiving! The food looks so yummy! Sure it was wonderful-you have so many good cooks there, especially Martha. I didn't get one pie done-not even one. (Just as well as I am not a very good cook!) We had Thanksgiving Wednesday night as Dusty and Morgan had to leave for Las Vegas for a soccer tournament. Love all the pictures. Will is so cute. Love the one of your dad going down the cement slide. Actually I love your dad. He has been a very good brother to me all these many years. Grandma Aileen is so anxious to see you all, especially Will. She loves looking at the pictures. We use a flashlight so she can see them. Glad Scott is enjoying school. We know-it's a lot of work.
    Love you all
