11.27.2008 Thanksgiving

We have so much to be thankful for this year. Amid the financial struggles, we have our health (yeah! the whole family is doing pretty well), good friends, a roof over our heads and freedom. There are so many more reasons to be thankful! This year we spent Thanksgiving with the Weeks clan (as usual) but at Jack/Susie's house instead. It was fun, and we ate and ate. Shocker. I brought rolls (oooh tough!) and everyone loved them. HA! Here's some photo's of the fun



Chester carved the turkey while Lara, Shenoa and Kiri looked on.



Danielle has been learning (my ear and sight) a few songs on the piano. She was going to try out her skills but her and Colton mostly fought for control of it. Doesn't Erick look thrilled? Diane even taught her 2 new songs today.



We also scanned the ads for day after Thanksgiving bargains, and made our plans. The next day i was up at 4:45 and Erick came with for Black Friday shopping (even though he was feeling a bit sick...probably from overeating) It was fun. I was the only one who actually got up and did it.. out of ALL of my friends!! Sissies! The best part was having all my shopping done in ONE trip and on ONE day. With all the bargains it was awesome.

And finally......the required position for after a yummy thanksgiving meal?! DeRell and DeRell Sr. giving their thanks for a wonderful meal the best way they know how!
