Thanksgiving

This seems like a great time to wrap up the Thanksgiving posts.  You know, now that we’re finishing up the first week of January.  Sigh.

Anyway, plowing right ahead…

Each grade of our kids’ school puts on a performance at different times of the year.  The third grade got Thanksgiving, so Lauren, Jonah, and I settled in to watch the turkeys going on strike.

I had a pretty good view of Mikey until this turkey, uh, older gentleman marched up and plunked himself smack in the front of the aisle with his trusty iphone whipped out.

Since he’s our oldest, I tend to often forget just how young he still is.  That is, until I see pictures of him like this and it makes me sad to think of how I often don’t see him as the little kid he really is. 

Love this kid so much.  (BUT THAT ANNOYING GUY WITH THE PHONE IS KILLING ME!!)

Last minute pic before he dashed off to rejoin his classmates.

The next day was Thanksgiving.  Clementines and pine cones in vases is as Martha Stewart as I get.

Turkey’s ready!  This was just before I almost tipped the bird right out of the pan.  Sucker was heavy!

Almost ready to eat.

This year, we invited the family of one of Allie’s classmates to join us for the meal.

So, so much to be thankful to the Lord for and it was so nice to have time to celebrate and be together.

And now it’s finally time to move on to Christmas!
