Thanksgiving Day. A fun day of relaxing and playing. Granny did nearly all the cooking (with moderate assistance from Melanie and even more moderate assistance by me). I took a little time to photograph some of the prettiness around the house.
Here’s the fall wreath on the front door.
Granny got some materials for the kids to make place cards. So cute!
Pilgrims and Indians and the napkin rings made by the kids.
Beautiful Thanksgiving flowers sent by Grandma Jo.
Meanwhile, my half-naked children played games. Here’s Sylvia coloring with Grandad.
and Andrew and Bryan playing a game of Quirkle. Andrew caught on to this game right-fast!
The weather was balmy for the first few days of our trip (high seventies!), but on Thanksgiving, a cold front blew in, and we all got a little chilly! Here’s Sylvia (wearing a dress that used to be Melanie’s) and Bryan watching Grandad and Andrew playing with a remote control car.
Grandad steers and Andrew leaps about in front of the crazy car.
Here’s my sis Melanie looking svelte and fabulous.
Me and my girl (thanks for taking the picture, Grandad!).
Here’s our lovely Thanksgiving table.
Grandad carves the turkey.
So much good food!
Yum! I hope your Thanksgiving celebrations were warm and loving and full of all your favorite foods.
We have so much to be grateful for – good health, wonderful family, treasured friends, warm homes, full kitchens, peace, and contentment. Wishing you all a gratitude-filled year!
