Happy Thanksgiving Friends and Family!!

You know, I was fast asleep this morning.... (I can't believe I'm putting this picture in here, but I thought it would make the people laugh)... but I KNEW I had to drag myself outta bed to start this awesome THANKSGIVING-day-O-fun!!

I think this is the 3rd year we have done Thanksgiving at my house. And I got this cool sounding green bean casserole from the radio. So you cook the beans, add crumbled up bacon, and slivers of red peppers. Then of course the cream of mushroom soup, and the crunchy onions on top... looks pretty good eh? eh?

We made a turkey, and Jeromy also wanted the Costco brown sugar glazed spiral ham (wow, that's a mouth full) My mom said you gotta have augratin potatoes with ham and I ABSOLUTELY agree. Here I look a little more presentable making the augratin potatoes....Then mom and dad, Misty, Dennis, Denny, Mason and Kelsey came over. Misty brought deviled eggs, and double stuffed potatoes- she even made some special for Jeromy with no cheese or milk in them cause he can't have that..... mmmm they look delicious!!We had fun colorful place settings...Beautiful cousins.... Jade and Kelsey...Jeromy cutting the turkey for us....Jade is so talented, she's whisking the gravy.... AND whisking the glaze for the ham...Almost time to eat, but first things first... Denny had written an awesome paper about what he was thankful for and it was addressed to our family-how sweet is that? I think my mom got it on video on her blog, but I got a picture of him reading it to us....And then Jade read our prayer for dinner, actually it was a verse from the bible, from Psalms....

Know that the Lord is God! It is He that made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise!

That was just a part of what Jade read. We are Soo thankful in this family for God and His LOVE!!And here's the spread... TIME TO EAT!!!! While we ate, sweet little Kelsey slept right next to us at the table...

After we ate, Jade and Mason decided to.... rake leaves??? Go ahead kids! That's great!!The rest of us decided to play with Kelsey while we let our food digest....Then we got some group shots. Here we are... the Hosts.... Mom and dad, happy proud grandparents to alot of awesome grandkids!!The rest of our group...And then Denny, Dennis holding Kelsey, Mason & Misty...And my BIG baby, sleeping.... Then after everybody left. Jade and Kent's grandma Claire came over. She was taking the kids to Seattle for dinner with their aunt and 2 uncles from the other side of the family. I hope those kids have room for more food!
And now that all the food is put away, and everyone's gone, and it's only Jeromy and I... there's only one thing left to do.... EAT THESE AMAZING CINNAMON ROLLS MY MOM MADE!! YUM!! THANKS MOM!!
