We had an easy morning waking at 5:00 am and enjoying a good strong cup of coffee. The crock pots were all filled but not turned on until 9:00 am as we were getting ready to head to church. The food was cooked earlier and I only needed to have it heated up. Craig Stickling had the Thanksgiving message. He started with Hagar and finished up with the women who had the issue of blood and touched the hem of Jesus' clothes to be healed. A good message for Thanksgiving. We didn't rush home but probably should have as by the time we got home the turkey was a little over cooked. Butter was used to moisten it up some and a second batch of stuffing was quickly made to add to the first batch. We had about 40 minutes to get everything done and over to Joan's house. Below are a few pictures as we were getting the food set out.
Nancy was glad for some help and excited to head downstairs to see mom.
The food was excellent. Below is the first plateful.
After dinner games were played both upstairs and downstairs.
We adults enjoyed looking at pictures from the past that Amy brought and visiting with each other.
Not that Aunt Jinnie is competitive but she ended up taking off her sweater in order to beat Sarah at the game.
Mom wanted to try to play ping pong. Her only problem, other than not being able to walk is she is left handed and since that hand doesn't work had to use her right hand.
The kids love the toy room. There are just so many different toys to choose from.
Below are the youngest and oldest guest, baby Zeke and Aunt Jinnie. They are 93 years apart.
Below is a video of some of the evening.
Rachel's boys had a foot ball game out in the field. Our kids and grand children left to go to Phil and Anna's house for the evening and sent the picture below to David and Stephanie's family with the text, "Happy Thanksgiving! We missed you David and Steph. Their family celebrated Thanksgiving in Indiana with Stephanie's brother's family.
We stayed until after 7:00 pm at Joan's before heading over to Phil and Anna's with some left over pies. They are going to be celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow with all of Anna's family. We are all going to bed a little early. Another wonderful Thanksgiving and we were all very thankful for the day, the good food and wonderful fellowship.
