wonderful Turkey day memories

HHHHoooooeeeeeyyyyy, I am tuckered out y'all!!!! No black Friday for me! I went to bed early, and slept late, and still don't feel rested! yesterday was great fun, having the Family at my house this year was a special treat, although we dearly missed some that were not able to attend!

Tuesday night I made this tablecloth.


There was just enough fabric to cover the children's table

Wednesday night I made these "placeholder" cookies.




My Mom made these!



I was up bright and early on Thanksgiving making these,



and lots of other yummies!!


It was a day of reconnecting,

Stamping,


wing span comparing,


singing,


some reminiscing,


giggling,



wii playing, and ping pong championships. I believe Dakota prevailed there.


not to mention eating, eating, and eating some more. Then there was the eating, and a little eating.

Oh, I forgot the eating!

Then there was more snuggling,




and we rounded out the day with some more giggling.


I hope your day was as fun as ours, and to all those loved ones who couldn't make it, you were very missed!

so, today I am grateful for:

- extended family

- Turkey day, and a whole month to concentrate on Thankfulness

- good traveling weather for all those out on the roads

- The opportunity to hear my Dad pray on Thanksgiving, one more year.

- a day of rest

What are you thankful for?
