Our extended family has to split every other year and do the in-law thing at Thanksgiving. This was our year for everyone to be together at G&G's and we were happy about it knowing we had a new baby to celebrate as well as being grateful that we are all still here, healthy, minds intact (ha), continuing to enjoy life. Thank You, God.
So in a nutshell...
Noisy (5 kids under 9 years old)
G&G's new house...perfect for these big family celebrations
Wonderful smells from the kitchen
Perfectly-browned turkey, Grandmother's dressing, Mom's sweet potato souffle, rolls, green beans, cole slaw, a three-layer Paula Deen cake (cranberry filling, orange icing, spice cake), Oreo bites, pumpkin pie.
Passing the baby around
Taking lots of pictures
Talking and talking
Singing "Lean on Me" and hearing piano solos and duets from the nieces and nephews
A wonderful five hours later...going home stuffed.
