Thanksgiving

Carol wanted to get a family picture, not only for her Christmas card, but also just cause she needed an updated one.  And with a little help from photoshop and some head swapping, we actually got a good one.
 

 And a couple random pics. Such a nice picture of grandma and Sawyer.  An attempted picture of the boys with grandma and grandpa.  And goodness, it's not often I get a picture of just me and Sawyer, AND, he's looking.  MIRACLE! 

After pictures, and while final touches were getting made on dinner, I gathered the kids up and had them play bingo.  I found a free printable on Pinterest.  After the kids had all won a round, and gotten their treat, we all gathered around the table, wrote what we were thankful for, and Craig read them out loud.  It was super sweet because Kate asked Rowan what he was thankful for and Rowan said, "Jesus."  Break a mom's heart!  (In a good way of course!)  I said, "The Food Network," and Jon said, "Delicious cooking."  Guess we know why we're pleasantly plump.  Ha ha. After a prayer was said and the food was blessed it was time to load up our plates.  The food was great.  Three meat options, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, rolls, jello salads, stuffing, and lots of pies for dessert! 

 

We played Christmas charades while our food settled, looked at the Black Friday ads, and then had pie.  Eventually we all took off.  The boys were asleep within minutes of leaving grandma and grandpa's house.  It was a good Thanksgiving, and next up is Christmas.  Can't wait!
