Thanksgiving Day

One of Maddie's Thanksgiving songs begins like this, "Thanksgiving Day is a happy day, and we say thank you God." Those words couldn't be more true!  We have so very much to be thankful for, but family is definitely at the top of the list.



Their mom would be very proud of these two! Both did a wonderful job caring on her traditions.

Check out that beautiful cake!  Caleb has assumed the new role of German Chocolate cake maker.  It was excellent!

Papa and Reed had some extra special help cooking out in the shop.



Charley and Josey helped the girls put on a puppet show, and then they let Lillian be a puppet, too!



Sweet smiles make this day extra special!



Did I mention that we had special pre-meal entertainment?

I love sweet family time.

There always seems to be a ballgame after we eat! Maddie enjoyed watching from the sidelines! 

Sweet, sweet cousins!  Maddie and Lillian loved playing with them!



The girls requested this picture of them, and only reluctantly let the boys join in the one above.
