Thankful for this Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. 
My folks came up from Tucson and we had family scattered around the valley come as well.  There were Aunts and Uncles, Grandparents, parents and Great Aunts.  I didn't manage to take one single picture of anyone on Thanksgiving Day, humm.

My parents made Turkeys with Katherine and Jane.  It was hilarious to listen to (while doing dinner dishes).  Nathan and I aren't much for crafts as they are so challenging with this age, so I volunteered my parents,  hee hee.  Katherine and my Mom did the main assembly then passed them to Jane and my Dad for the finishing work.




 Jane took care of any left over parts...

Alice didn't make it for the Turkey construction, partly on purpose, but was a ham and a half at dinner making us all laugh.

We had a total of 13 adults and 3 kids.  We split it up with 3 table and the kids table.  Since I don't have that many matching dishes/accessories each table had it's own theme, which ended up being quite nice.
Everyone pitched in with food and the day couldn't have gone better.  We had a ridiculous amount of food, something like 6 or 7 casseroles.  There was a ton of left over food, but it mostly got eaten as a lot of folks stayed through dinner and then took left overs as well.


I had my Dad take our picture as I noticed there are very few pictures of Nathan and I.  We always seem to be taking the pictures, or and in a family picture.  I'm going to make a conscious effort to get some pic's of me and my love.  (We would have attempted a family picture as well but Alice was sleeping.)
