Thursday

Thanksgiving

I love having friends and family together to celebrate Thanksgiving.  We were missing a few of our kids this year.  They are always missed but I don't mind sharing.  We were happy to have Scott and Erin's family join us this year as well as Carla, Roger and my mom.  Larry's mom came just in time for a group picture and was able to stay and visit for quite awhile.  Her and Clark prefer going out for Thanksgiving Dinner....it's easier for Clark.  Everyone enjoyed a wonderful meal, football and visiting.  The girls played games and the babies were never left a lone.   I love watching Mallory, Hayley and even Brittney love on Brynlie and Briggs.  They love babies and are so cute with them.  I was just like them.  I have always loved babies.

Larry's football team won their game.  The Lions were behind in the 4th quarter like they have been all year and came back to win.  They have been famous for coming back in the fourth quarter which is a good thing if you are a Lions fan.

I thought today was relaxing and nice.  I started preparing in the morning but was able to take breaks in between.  I didn't feel pressured or stressed.  Everyone brought yummy dishes to share and we had plenty of pie to choose from.  I always wish I had the ability to eat like I did when I was a kid on Thanksgiving.  I get so full so quickly these days but I still manage to at least sample a few different pies.

Everyone helped clean up and so everything turned out perfect.  Our Family is Very Blessed!
