Thanksgiving

Once again my wonderful Aunt Pam invited us over for Thanksgiving. She always has a nice crowd of family over and I was honored to be once again included. She lives in Lake Mary, FL its about 45 mins away. This was the appetizer table. I took the pic after most of us ate everything but its always fun to snack while waiting for turkey!

My cousin Shawn always brings his spinach rye bread dip. I love the bread but not so much the dip. I prefer ranch or dill.

The boys favorite part is playing with their cousin Tyler. They ran outside while we were all inside cooking. It was a perfect cool day about 65-70 that day.

Then Aunt Pam brought out the Croquet set she found at a yard sale. My Mom her sister had one for me and my sister and we loved playing it as a kid! I need to buy a set now!

We set it all up and got the boys to play it a few times but they enjoyed running around throwing the ball at each other more.

See the lonely set with no one playing. What a shame, perhaps its a girls game.

The kids table there was 6 kids in total there. All Aunt Pam's grand-babies.

This was Edward's plate with his place card.

This was Lucas' plate with his place card.

This was the adults table we had so many of us had to get out the folding chairs! There was 11 of us.

The kids getting ready to pray over their food.

So cute to watch them all pray.

After prayer each kid was asked what they were thankful for.

It was so neat as the kiddos all kept holding hands. My boys both said they were thankful for their cousins! We laughed and us adults after dinner had a little game where we all wrote down what we were thankful for and then had to guess who said what. It was pretty funny. What a fun Thanksgiving with family. That is something I am so thankful for.
