Thanksgiving was a huge success again this year. I just love Thanksgiving and all the family time, thankfullness time, fellowship, and food, of course. :) And Jer was home for Thanksgiving, and not a zillion miles away in Mexico, so that made it EVEN BETTER!!! :)
On Tuesday (11/24) both kids had Thanksgiving feasts at their schools. Lilly's school was for kids only, so I didn't get to go to that one and take pics, but she did bring home her cool pilgrim hat and Thanksgiving placemat. :) Jeremy and I both went to Isaiah's school and sat with his class and had their "feast" of turkey sandwiches, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, rolls, popcorn and juice boxes. :) Isaiah was more than happy to eat with his daddy :)
Here he is with his class. There are 8 kids in his class. 4 boys and 4 girls. Two were missing that day.
"Come sit next to me daddy and eat" :)
The week of Thanksgiving, we officially decked out our house in our Christmas decor. I love it. I did scale back some this year. With Jeremy being gone so much this fall, and gone again another 2 weeks in December, I did not put out quite as much.
They LOVED helping daddy get out the tree and all the decor. They are SO excited for Christmas. :)
Thanksgiving Day.....we went up to our old church and had a Thanksgiving dinner with Jeremy's moms side of the family. There's so many of them, they have it in the church basement every year. It's always lots of fun catching up with them and seeing all the cousins again :)
Thanksgiving tradition...........family pictures. Of course there's always one child who won't cooperate. This year was no exception. It was my sweet little angel boy, Isaiah. (sense the sarcasm) :) I told the family that by the time we get all 4 of these kids to cooperate for family pictures, then they'll be grand-child #5 here who will be the trouble maker!!!
(I thought our family pic did turn out pretty decent, considering Isaiah's mood. Although he was on his daddy's lap. He wouldn't grin at all for the grandkids pic with Grandma and Grandpa)
After our Thanksgiving Feast #1, we went to my parents house and joined them. We had leftovers over there and stayed the rest of the afternoon. Here is Isaiah and his dinner #2. :)
Our cousins came in town for Thanksgiving this year. It was great having them here. Here is David and Lisa and their 3 handsome boys.
Cousins :)
The one girl amongst all those boys.....
FRIDAY......we joined my parents, sister and cousins again for dinner at Manny's downtown.....
The kids table :)
Thanksgiving was so much fun. I hated to see it end. Lots of family time. Tons a food. And priceless memories made. :)
