Thanksgiving Day 2012

We spent Thanksgiving in Thatcher at my parent's home this year.  We had a really great time, but once again I forgot my camera, so these are photos Laura took on her iPhone.  We spent part of the morning helping my dad take down and clean out what was left of his summer garden and then Mike, Laura and Steven went shooting with my Uncle John and his family.  They had a really nice time.

Aim

Fire!

We had Thanksgiving dinner about 6 pm as Andrew had to work and we had to wait for him to arrive.  He made it right on time and we had a very nice evening.

Laura took pictures of everyone around the table.

This is my great niece Maigan Ferrin, she is so fun, she created a game called Pickle/Banana, you ask a silly question and the answer is always Pickle/Banana.  We got a lot of laughs playing her game.

I love these two pictures Laura was trying to get my dad to smile

he told her he didn't know how.  She proved him wrong! 



Maigan and Kiera - Sisterly love!

 

I'm so glad we got to spend time with my parents and other family members in Thatcher this year.  It was a day full of great memories, cooking, putting a puzzle together, playing games, and of course wonderful food.  I think my sister Marie made the best pies EVER this year! 

 

Every Thanksgiving I have a little song my mom taught us stuck in my head and I hum it all day long, so I thought I'd put it on the blog and share....

 

Today's Thanksgiving day

And we have a treat

Cuz' there are so many

Yummy things to eat

Tom Turkey's on the table

Just waiting to be carved

I hope my dad soon does it

Fot goodness sakes I'm starved

 

I like the cranberries

Pie and all the rest

But of all the dinner

I like the Turkey best

I hope I won't be sorry

For eating til' I break

Cuz' I don't want a visit
