Thanksgiving Weekend 2011

I love Thanksgiving and it was especially wonderful to spend it with our good friends the Tates! Early on, we realized that neither of us was going anywhere, so we made plans and divided food responsibilities. We handled the turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole and a pie and they took care of the rolls, mashed potatoes, tasty drinks and some more dessert. It was fun to celebrate they day and enjoy the company! Sean was nice enough to invite his friend from school, David, and he joined us for the food and games as well!

We plopped Kelsey down and as soon as Brimley was next to her, she put on this HUGE grin!

I love that Brim and Josh play together. It is so cute to see them interact.

This will be the last picture with Kelsey and any kind of head ornamentation. She absolutely refuses to wear them. The frustrating thing for me is that I had just ordered some darling bows and headbands for Christmas!

Shortly after our red drink was given out, the boys knocked over one of the glasses on the floor. We were grateful that we had carpet cleaner on hand! It came right up.
I think Brim must have gotten food on himself, so once Josh saw that Brim didn't have to wear a shirt, his came right off.

The after-effects of the Thanksgiving festivities!

After the eating was through, we enjoyed playing a few games including "No Thanks" and "Ticket to Ride". We are certainly grateful for our home, our children, our families and our friends!
