We Gather Together!

Thanksgiving was a wonderful time!  We shared the weekend with family and friends. Baking started on Wednesday.  Baking and cooking continued through the night and into the next day.  I baked  apple and pecan pies on Wednesday.  Very early Thursday morning I put a turkey in the oven for the Salvation Army's Thanksgiving diner.  Randy delivered the cooked turkey to the VFW hall around 8am and enjoyed a short visit with a friend.  Then the real cooking began.  Randy smoked our turkey on the grill.  I made potato rolls and Bethany made a Banana-Coconut Cream Pie.  It was the best and first to be eaten.  YUM! 

Mark and his family joined us for food and fun along with Morgan's friend Spencer.  I believe that Grant had the best time of all.  He played cars with Papa, cooked with Morgan, had Nerf gun wars and outside activities with EVERYONE! 

Grant and Cami even enjoyed a sleepover that night complete with Papa's special Star Wars pancakes for breakfast on Friday morning. (See Bethany's Facebook post for a pancake picture)    It was a great family day.  Alison was not able to be with us.  She spent the day with her Aunt Connie.  We missed her and look forword to Christmas time and all of us being together!!!
