Thankful On Thanksgiving

 Thanksgiving morning the pies were all brought inside from the porch. The stuffing was divided into 3 crockpots and put on low. The turkey filled almost 2 crockpots. Those also were put on low.  We had breakfast at the house at 8:30 am as we didn't have to leave for church into 9:15 am. As Joan was going to sit with mom,  Mark, Kim and I sat in the middle up front. Church was pretty full with everyone sitting with families. Craig Stickling had the message on Hope reading 1Peter1 then Mathew 4 and 11. Click HERE to watch that. After church I only had an hour to get the cheesy carrots done. Kim made both of the fruit bowls. Anna, Sarah, Gertie and Braelyn filled the water glasses with ice water. That was a big job as we had 104 places set. Tim Sceggel had the Thanksgiving prayer and then came the feast. There was so much delicious food that every bite was a delight to the taste buds. It really was the BEST Thanksgiving meal I can ever remember. I didn't think to take any pictures as I was making sure to keep the food bowls filled. Below are some pictures after dinner.

The kids all enjoyed the gym and game room while the adults visited and visited and visited.

Rhoda organized some games in the gym.

Sarah brought over Millie and her 3 puppies to show Strot, Allie and Tim and of course all the little girls wanted their turn to hold these precious puppies.

All of these Cavapoo puppy are spoken for. IF you are wanting a precious companion for your family check out Gardner Lane puppies by clicking HERE. Their puppies are quick to be snatched up. Their puppies are always well socialized and even have a big start on potty training before leaving for their new homes.  It was such a wonderful Thanksgiving day. We thoroughly enjoyed every bit, even the clean up went fast with everyone pitching in. What a great family and what a wonderful feast. I AM thankful on this special day. Thankful for family, thankful for the delicious food but most of all thankful for my Lord and Savior who gave HIS life for me!
