Monday, November 28, 2005Thanksgiving Oh, that was so much fun! We had a relatively quiet Thanksgiving. I told the kids they could go wherever, whenever, all during vacation so long as they reserved the whole of Thursday for me. So, from morning until night, all my babies were under our roof and it was so very nice. Our college student was home and we all missed her, so she received lots of extra attention--as you can see! (The middle child isn't mad, she just looks that way because I caught her with her eyes closed. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a good picture of 4 kids all at once?)We had our big meal with all the trimmings around 1:00. It was us six plus my parents. Then later in the afternoon, we drove up to see my in-laws and had dessert there. When we pulled back into our the driveway that night I thanked the kids for giving me their day and told them they were officially "released." All four whipped out cell phones and had plans confirmed before we reached the front door! Ha! How was your Thanksgiving?

'Twas great! Went to our oldest daughter's pastor's home, which also happens to be the home of our oldest son's girlfriend. Map that out sometime! Two kinds of turkey and stuffings, plus other gourmet accoutrements. Your daughter looks so different without green all over her! Cute chick!

Cute pic of the kids!
Our Thanksgiving: fabulous. A wedding on Friday, and we were invited to the rehearsal dinner/Thanksgiving feast on Thursday because our daughter and her new hubby were in the wedding party. On Friday, we got to watch him watching her walk down the aisle, like a replay of their own wedding. So much fun.

My husband's twin sister was home for a long weekend, so we did Thanksgiving with his parents.
We made a quick trip out to see my mom (and pick up the food she made special for me: a pumpkin pie and a pan of mac&cheese, I also helped myself to a small dish of collard greens.)
And then, we had friends over. And we set up my great-great-grandmother's dining room set, so I hovered around it all day (even though we didn't eat Thanksgiving on it).
I loved the pic of your kids. :-)
