Thanksgiving




We gathered in Chris's kitchen to chat, and of course, offer our help, while the turkey was baking, and the gravy was stirred, and thickened.


And we all came starving, so spinach dip and hawaiian bread was served to shave off the hunger, and sweet pickles, too.

Sawyer sampling the pickles.


Finally, the whole dinner is ready, and we lined up to get our fill.




Notice who's first in line!

Also, many photos taken...as you can see, the pictures are being critiqued by Chris, Danielle, and Lorrie.


The food was delicious, but before, the kitchen was cleaned up, the children were ready for dessert. Homemade chocolate pie by Raquel(delicious), pumpkin and apple and pecan pie by Lorrie,(great) were had by all, with groans of complete fullness.




Then, the fun began, with games, and movies, and comradery.

All ended with everyone going home...Danielle, to a sick Nevie, who had the croup, so all decided a sleep over wasn't going to work out. I hope all enjoyed getting together. I love seeing everyone interacting, and know we all try to show love and caring for each other. May that always remain with us. Now, when to celebrate Christmas, and where?

Wish we could all be together, esp. at this time of year, but you are always here in spirit.
