Shantelle sent us this picture in a text. Lilly made it at school. Shantelle asked her why the girl is frowning and Lilly said "it's because she has to fix all the food." How true is that!!!!
It was our turn to be with the Adams' for Thanksgiving. I didn't want Charlene to have to worry about it so we invited everyone up to our house. Everyone was there except Mike and Amy and their kids. (We're on the off schedule). Chase wanted to use our china and I thought, if I don't use it for Thanksgiving then when will it be a better time? So Chase and Bridger set the table with our fancy china, glasses and silverware. Marilyn had given me a few fall table clothes just a couple of weeks ago so I even had nice tablecloths. The table looked beautiful!
We had quite the feast. We provided the turkey, potatoes, roll, jam, jello salad and green beans. Matt and the boys pealed and cut all of the potatoes. They did 25 pounds!! Charlene brought her delicious stuffing, homemade cranberry sauce and mashed yams. She learned that Matt loves Kip's recipe so she followed Kip's recipe. They tasted just like Kip's. Everything tasted so wonderful! Matt was so sweet to help with all of the dishes. The boys were good to clear the table. Once we were done cleaning up, Charlene told the kids the story of "Tom the Turkey." Then we played Turkey BINGO.
Everyone loved playing turkey bingo. There were lots of fun prizes. Around 8:00, people started headed home. It was a great day being together as a family. We have been blessed with so much. One of our greatest blessings is family!!!
