Thanksgiving Dinner

Mark,Angie, Garret and Carissa arrived early so that Mark and Steve could cut down a dead leaning tree bordering Grandma's and her neighbors. We all got together for a lovely Thanksgiving meal prepared by Grandma and Papa. Everything was super delish, but most of all it was so nice seeing everyone again after it being almost a year since the last time we were together. All the children had grown so much since our last trip to Florida and the cousins had a great time playing with each other. Steve and I got to meet Brian's girlfriend, Rachel, for the first time. Uncle Mark bought Tyler and Garret a cowboy play set. The boys enjoyed playing cowboys and soon their cousin, Abby, got into the game. She looked like a real cowgirl. After dinner, Aunt Chellee arranged for the kids to make some Christmas ornaments for Grandma's Christmas tree. The kids had to what they were thankful for and we wrote it on each of the ornaments with their name and age. Tyler was thankful for food, family, and animals. It had been years since our last family photo, so tonight we got together for a few photos. A few with just couples and a few more with the cousins together. It was getting late by this time and unfortunately it was time to say good night to everyone.
