Thankful

We had a grand Thanksgiving this year. My sister Lisa and her family came to stay with us for a few days and we planned a big get together at our church. There were 27 of us total, including my sister Kristin's family, my mom, Jeff's parents, Pop Pop and sweet Angie and her kids who are just like family to me. We had quite the feast with way, way too much food, including turkey, ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn pudding, jello salad, sweet and sour green beans, cranberry sauce, rolls, squash casserole, a slew of appetizers and at least six different desserts to choose from. It was definitely good eats! After dinner the kids did crafts and watched a movie and the adults had a rousing game of basketball. I must say I was surprised at some hidden talents, especially Jeremy's! I had no idea! I am so thankful for my family- even with our many quirks we somehow manage to stick together and have a great time with each other. I'm also thankful for Angie and her kiddos and for her hubby Jonathan in Iraq and all he does to protect our freedom. I am most richly blessed.

Jeremy looks so fetching in your apron! :) How did your rolls turn out? We missed you guys- I asked Luke in the car on the way back from Boise today what he wants santa to bring him for christmas and he said "Masey" :) If only!
