We gathered around the table and prayed a Thanksgiving litany–written by Pastor Bill Cwirla.
The food was served buffet style—-and if I do say so myself—it was pretty yummy!
Some of the crew (my brother was sick this year and we missed him dearly—-he always does the dishes!)
Let the feasting begin!
The ‘teens and tweens’ table and their beloved sparkling grape juice.
A sneak peek at myspace….
…and a whole lot of football!
Apparently my sister has rescued her husband from his ten year old worn out Carhartt (?acid-washed) jeans—I thought it was picture-worthy.
I was a little disappointed with my performance on desserts this year. Pride comes before a fall and I sorta pride myself on serving a plethora of yummy desserts. They were just ‘ok’. Next year, I promise to bring back ‘chocolate crusted creme brulee’—-and red velvet cheese cake. Accept my sincerest apologies.
It was a glorious day altogether and we counted our many blessings.
Friday I took the kids to see Blind Side and cried through 75% of the movie. Steve was 95% sure I’d come home with a 250 pound homeless football player. I seriously pondered it and may be in an adoption ‘funk’ for weeks. Today, I’m thinking about resurrecting the fresh Christmas tree tradition. Hope your weekend is marvelous.
And it's so fun to see others. It looks like a lovely time with your beautiful family and lots of good food! Thanks for sharing.
