Thanksgiving Thursday

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. Our neighbors, the Flanegins, and my sister joined us for the meal at about 4 in the afternoon. We cooked a 21lb turkey and had more than enough food for the 14 of us in our house that night. We began the meal with everyone saying one thing they were thankful for - many blessings were talked about - the food, family, wonderful neighbors, jobs, normal things that we take for granted that others don't have. Here's a picture of the "kids" table with our three boys and 4 of the Flanegin children - Kyle, Kevin, Lada & Katya:
Here's the "adult" table with Rob, Tom, Sue, Tresa & Anastasia (Catherine ate with us):
Here's everyone after the big meal enjoying a little relaxation. We watched some "Punkin Chunkin" - a first for our family. People create machines to see how far they can shoot pumpkins - very entertaining.

We are all very thankful for so many things and that we had a wonderful Thanksgiving day with terrific friends and family!
