Thanksgiving at Our Home

Well, this Thanksgiving was a big day for us. We had the Abbott's and some of Mom's sisters and family over. Our Thanksgiving festivities started the night before when Kevin prepared our Deep Fried Turkey and Mindy baked Apple and Pumpkin Pies. Callie even helped out with making the pie crust for the Apple Pie! On Thanksgiving day, we started out early and prepared the turkey and stuffing for the oven. It was a fun day and we were happy to have everyone over. The rest of the family arrived by 1pm and brought some wonderful dishes. As our guests arrived, they were asked to write down a reason why they were thanksful this Thanksgiving. Before we ate all of the wonderful food, Callie read us the story of the first Thanksgiving and the meaning behind the first dinner with the Pilgrims and Indians. We had lots of fun and lots of food.

Here are some photos to share....

Looks like you all had a good time. I spent the day at the museum (here is my blog link): http://360.yahoo.com/j_lynn_zienta) It was a great day.

Love the picture you guys posted of the family - - I assume that will be the Christmas photo?

Congratulations Mindy on hosting your first big holiday bash!

Mindy did a great job hosting! I am very blessed of God to have her as my helpmate and bride! I hope and pray for many, many more family moments such as these and that God would continue to use our family as the catelist to keep the family together in events such as these...
