Giving Thanks




We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! My extended family came to town so we celebrated with an extra-large group -- 20 to be exact. Neil fried two turkeys (takes a lot of bird to feed our group!), my Pa-pa carved them, we filled our plates and ate lots of yummy goodness all the while being reminded of all of our blessings. We missed my sister, Laura, who is preparing 24/7 for her senior show next weekend in Tennessee. We'll celebrate the holiday a week later with her.
**Neil has kindly asked that I amend my post as he doesn't feel my original writing accurately captures the deliciousness of the turkeys he so proudly prepared. They were quite delicious! He's been frying the turkeys at Thanksgiving and Christmas for a few years now and I believe these were his best ever. They were extremely flavorful and juicy (usually not how one describes a turkey) and extremely yummy. And, by supper time, they had both been devoured, proof that everyone else shared my sentiments. Good job, Neil! You have a lot to live up to next year.

Thanksgiving Feast

She's been asking for weeks for me to take her picture with the harvest display in front of her school.

Last Thursday we celebrated an early Thanksgiving as Margie Grace's school held their annual Thanksgiving Feast. MG had a great time eating a special meal with her friends and showing off the many Thanksgiving crafts her class has been working on this month. Can't wait to celebrate the "official" Thanksgiving this Thursday!
