HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

We had a nice Thanksgiving with friends this year. A bunch of us who were sticking close to home, got together at the church to share the Holiday. I think we had about 15 adults and 16 kids (ranging in age from 2 months to 8 years). Everyone brought a portion of the meal, there was a ton of food and everything tasted amazing. It was so fun visiting with all the adults and getting to know everyone a little bit better. Plus, the kids seemed to all get along and entertain themselves. Thank You Summer for coordinating the fun Festivity; I'm thinking we should make it a tradition.

Here are some highlights captured from a nice afternoon spent with good food and great friends.

Dessert Time!

There were several pies, a cheesecake, and one of Costco's multilayer Chocolate cake. Can you tell which one is Zoe's favorite? My girl sure loves her chocolate, she cried and cried until she got her own plate. I'd have to agree with her, it was one of the best picks there.I love the look of pure joy and content....
Nice goatee.....

About 5 minutes after finishing her chocolate cake......

Game Time!!

After dinner and dessert, all the kids played bingo. Each family brought prizes and we played until all the kids won something. We weren't too surprised when Noah chose what we brought, a pooping reindeer. This provided tons of fun for all. As Noah said, "Don't worry it's not poop, just jelly beans!"
