Our Feast

We had our Thanksgiving dinner at Larrys ( who lives next door to me) He has 3 daughters and a son, I have 2 sons and a daughter. His daughter and 3 of his grandchildren came. My daughter and her boyfriend and son came. And my Mom , who just turned 81 was there. We had a delicious meal...Larry and I fixed it together. We have decided for Christmas to fix food Christmas Eve and have all of our kids and grandkids in too eat!!! I think it will be lots of fun and kind of like an old fashioned Christmas Eve.

His daughter called him the day after Thanksgiving to tell him how nice the meal was. I thought that was real nice. Everyone went home "stuffed"..lol

Here is Mom and Ash's boyfriend Josh and Gaige....Mom had a good time and enjoyed herself.........

I think Ashley looks happy.....Josh is such a good guy, he is real good with Gaige too. He just fits right in with our family.

Grabbed this from Dr John....looked like fun........and you can call Dr John anything, but DONT call him humble!!!!! ;))

13. Is your cranberry sauce fresh or canned? I like the kind from Krogers deli that is cranberries, some orange zest, nuts and whatever else.

15. Share one family tradition. We usually all say one thing we are thankful for......this year there was such commotion with everyone arriving and getting seats out and introductions.....we forgot! Gaige usually always says a prayer but he was too bashful this year with Larrys family there too.......so at Christmas we shall have to say what we are greatful for and hopefully Gaige will say the prayer.
