Heads are going to roll...

 Ohhh Thanksgiving...2013

*Lynzie was sick.
*Our fridge hose broke, which caused a water leak in Caitlyn's room. 

*Mrs Pilgrim (aka Martha) head fell off.
and
*Mr. Pilgrim (aka George) can't stand up by himself...(only on hard surfaces)

George and Martha make a good pair, those two.

BUT

all in all

it was a nice day,

the food was delicious and it was so nice to hang out as a family

we were low keyed,

 my mom and dad came up later that evening for a little left-overs....

The Giving of Thanks....

All of my family was able to come together for Thanksgiving this year,

(except Steve, Kurt, Candice, Caitlyn, Kyle and Tanner)

even still, it was nothing short of a miracle.

Having all those people together gets a little crazy sometimes...

but the food was good.

oh, the annual making of the "chop suey"

it was amazing to see the twins again....

no one could tell them apart,

and there mother dressed them the same just to mess with us!

they've grown just a tad bit in the last 3 years huh,

from 4 lbs to over 25....

I made "turkey bread baskets" they turned out pretty cute.

Thanksgiving 2011

thanks Kristen for all the pictures!

Another year of Thanks....

From our family to your....

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

I am so grateful for days like today!!!!

it has got to be one of my favorites days

it seems like everything is how it should be...

FAMILY.

my family is home together,

I love my family.

the weather took a chill last night and it feels so good,

the house is warm

I love the Christmas music softly playing,

the little ones are playing games,

I love the smell and lights of the tree,

I set up one of my Christmas trees earlier this week,

I started a new tradition this year,

I'm doing 3 trees,

the big one in the front room,

the kids tree upstairs

and

my new tree,

I did a tree of Christmas cards from past years,

I love receiving family Christmas cards but I can never throw them away,

there always too sweet....

so

now you all are on my tree,

so

send me this year's cards so I can add you to my tree,

it's so fun to see you all up there

and especially from year to year....

can you find yourself???

I love making the turkey and after all these years living in Texas,

Kurt and I have it down to perfection....

the turkey smells delicious,

I just love the feel of today...

I love taking a nap after lunch,

and I love watching all the fun movies that come on tv,

I love that it's just a 'family day'

a day for families,

with nothing else happening,

nothing else on the 'to do list'

a day of just being together

happy together.....

.....that's what I'm thankful for.

.

and

I love to hear the girls laughing and just being sisters.

A day of giving Thanks...

From our family to yours...
Happy Thanksgiving....
