Happy Thanksgiving!

Like the rest of America, we gorged ourselves on turkey and all the fixings, but our Thanksgiving was a little unique this year. We spent the earlier part of the day enjoying a lovely meal in Sun City, where Joe's grandmother lives. She is 96! We love her to pieces- she's sharp as a tack and still loves a good game of dominoes. We ate in the "dining room" though this place looks nothing like a mere dining room. It's very pretty, like a fine dining restaurant. Most of us had the turkey, though Brad stuffed himself on shrimp from the salad "spread" (way to big to be salad "bar") and then had a hamburger. Nathan had ham and the rest of us had turkey. Except Hannah. She ate cheese. Cheese from the salad spread, cheese from other people, cheese from her entree...and then about 150 grapes. She'd make a great Greek. :)

When our meal was done, we headed back to our house (a mere hour away) and engaged in a rousing game of dominoes, at which I was the big loser. Joe was the winner, and Mom C. and Gaga (Joe's grandma) were in the middle. There, I saved you from having to get Friday's sports section to read those results...stay tuned for Scrabble statistics later in our broadcast...

We also had our second meal (our first had been at 11:30) of turkey sandwiches. We all agreed that turkey leftovers are unbeatable, so I baked a turkey on Wednesday and we shared the leftovers with the family. Mmmmmmm.....

We wrapped the day up with a game of Scrabble and some funny t.v. We had a great day, and are so thankful for the countless ways we have been blessed as a family. We are still slowly seeing His plan for us unfold, and we are looking forward to all the exciting changes that will come our way over the next year. We wish you and your families the very best and please know how very thankful we are for each one of you. Happy Thanksgiving!

On to the photos...I tried to get them in age-order, but for some reason I can't get Lindsay's pic in-between Nate's and Brad's.
