Thanksgiving 2017

 
What does it look like when you have invited
30 people over for Thanksgiving?
 
Kimmy had all the tables set up
and beautifully decorated.
 
Lulu was in charge of arranging the dessert table.
There were all kinds of delicious pies.
And a few cookies, too.
 
Patiently waiting for company.
 
 Kimmy is a perfect hostess.
 
 
 This is the "boys" table,
ranging from ages from 3 to 16.
Tom and I sat here to supervise,
making sure there were table manners.
They all were perfect! 
 
Tom and I arrived early to be
helpful and to hand out  hugs.
It was a hard job but someone had to do it!
 

 Mark reminded us to think about all our blessings
and why we celebrate
 Thanksgiving!
 
Ila May is so excited for Christmas!
 
 
The traditional Thanksgiving picture.
 
 
 
*Before*
*After*
 
The weather was beautiful
and the all the kids
enjoyed being outdoors.
One tradition they have every year,
is a scavenger hunt for the
children.
They call it, Strut The Turkey
 
 It has the kids running all around the house,
from one end to the other,
even on the balcony.
STOP...
picture time! 
In the end, when they find Strut,
 they get candy.
 


 Another tradition...
.... the second meal after everyone has left.
Papa (Tom) is sharing some pie with Isaac.
 
 Clean Up Crew
at the dessert table!
 
Who needs a dog?
 
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.
This was one of my favorites!
