THANKSGIVING 2010

THANKSGIVING 2010
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year celebrated with Camille and Holland; Tom, Hillary and their three children; Matt, Andrea and their two children; and Rita.
 Everyone helped make a dish, which made the big meal fun and delicious!
Joyce making the gravy...
 Doug cooking and cutting the turkey...
Cohen ready to eat!!
As well as Matt and Rett...
Abigail, Elsie, Holland Adelyn writing (or drawing) four things they are thankful for.


 It was so good to have Rita in our home again.  She is very busy with her graduate studies at BYU.
 Elsie reading what she was thankful for!
 Hillary started a fun tradition with us--We all wrote what we were thankful for on cardstock cut out in the shape of the number four and then stuck them in a pumpkin with a wooden skewer taped to the bottom.

It would have been great to have had all of our family here, but that will happen again this summer.  We were grateful to those who were able to share this special time of year with us when we have the opportunity to express our gratitude for all that we have been abundantly blessed with.  For me--Family.

I loved seeing beautiful Andrea and her family because I haven't seen them in a while. You looked great making the gravy and the photo of Doug carving the turkey is classic. Probably seeing Tom with the big drumstick in his hand and him ready to eat so wide-eyed and excited was one that made me smile. Tom is a classy guy--so real and I love that. Looked like a wonderful day for you and your loved ones.
