I'm a little shocked by how poorly I documented the day with photos. From the looks of it you'd think it was all about the food! Ive also run out of free photo storage space, so to see what was captured on film, please visit my share site Three is a Crowd - of Fun.
The food was delicious and a great deal of thought and skill went into it, so I'll talk about that first. Mom roasted a turkey for the first time ever. She stuffed it with a yummy cranberry stuffing and it turned out beautifully! Dad fried a turkey that also turned out to be mouth wateringly good! For appetizers we had fruits and veggies with a variety of nut butters. I arranged them to look like turkeys, which was fun. They turned out very cute if I do say so myself!
The day was delightfully laid back. We watched the parade, the kids played outside... Jenna and Brett came up with Brett's parents. We enjoyed good food, great company, and fun games. (Brooklyn is surprisingly good at Apples to Apples and Pictionary Jr!)
Brooklyn made place cards with thumb print turkeys and our Thanksgiving verse (Psalms 100:4). Grayson spilled coffee on his beautiful Thanksgiving day sweater, but thankfully had a spare. He oohed and ahhed over the turkeys! Madi wore Grayson's thanksgiving outfit from last year. We dressed it up with pink socks and a pretty white bow and it totally worked!
There are many things to be thankful for this year...beautiful, healthy kids...work, especially the work we enjoy like CYT and other acting jobs...friends...family...for me what it boils down to is God's abundant provision. It doesn't always look the way I think it should, but as I look back over this year, his hand is very evident in our lives, and for that I am truly, truly thankful.
