Happy Thanksgiving

On Monday, Thanksgiving Day, Susan and I prepared a lavish Turkey dinner with all the trimmings. ( Susan is the best pie maker ever!) to take over to our daughter's home for a family celebration. We have so much to be thankful for in our home, beginning with Jesus, and extending through all of our grandchildren, so Thanksgiving is very important as a tradition for us. Added to the holiday, we've always celebrated Kelly's Birthday on this same weekend. This one is #35, so she always got special attention on Thanksgiving Monday.

But we all have to move aside for our children. So when her and Tom's son Maxwell was born on October 8, six years ago, he was added to the star list. Here are a couple of pictures from our family diary. The kids are at an age now where they all play together. Madeline and Victoria can usually be found dressing up as princesses and the boys are into making strange Lego creations. That we all got to eat and talk in relative peace.

After the festivities, presents and cleanup, Jordan and I went to work. He loves to help Papa do whatever is assigned as our project for the day. On this Thanksgiving, our job together was to replace the taps in Kristy's and Jeremy's kitchen sink.

After the good day we spent together, Susan and I drove Gramma home and headed to our house to sit and relax together before bed. Thankyou God for the gift of family!
