Thanksgiving '10

I love Thanksgiving ~ the fall weather & colors, food, family, & giving thanks!! We went to my grandma's house for a yummy lunch the Saturday before Thanksgiving & had a fun visit with the family. The kids love jumping in the leaves.......

On Thanksgiving day we had a leisurely day at my parent's house with yummy food, family, football, & laziness!!!

Third graders shed light on first Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving week 2009

The Saturday before Thanksgiving, we went to my Grandma Eaton's for lunch. We had a yummy food & a nice visit. Theo & the kids raked all the leaves into a giant pile for the kiddos to jump in ~ they had a blast!




The Tuesday before Thanksgiving, Tad & Kalli had parties at their school.
Tad had a breakfast feast in his class.



Kalli's class did a harvest play ~ it was so cute! Kalli was a pilgrim! After the play we had a yummy lunch.



On Thanksgiving, we had lunch at my Papa & Big Mama's house. The food was yummy, including Theo's green bean casserole & funeral pototoes, & lots of family came. We took our kids & my cousin's twins Valerie & Victoria for a hike in the pasture & took some fun pictures!

the Thanksgiving day

We had such a great day! We went to Big Mama & Papa's (my mom's parents) where we had a fabulous Thanksgiving lunch including our famous green bean casserole! We took these wonderful pictures of the kiddos there. Then we went to my Aunt Janice & Uncle Charles' house to visit with my dad's side of the family. Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!
