Thanksgiving 2012

We had 19 people for Thanksgiving this year.  Each year my turkey keeps getting bigger and bigger.  Since my kitchen sink isn't as deep as my old one we had to take the turkeys to the bathtub to thaw them.  The kids were excited to see the turkeys taking a bath!

Our friends came over just before noon and most of them stayed until 7pm.  We had our slingbox on with football for the kids we had Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving and the ladies stayed around the kitchen table and talked.  We did end up bringing out Catch Phrase and the adults enjoyed that as we at another round of food.

It snowed all day so we had a white Thanksgiving.  It is great to have friends to be with on holidays and since we are so far from home it is like our friends are our family.  We are very thankful for the people the Father has put in our lives here and in America.

Last year the kids I made the kids Pilgrim clothing and this year I made them Native Americans.  Todd found the bow and arrows and we gave them to all of the little kids.  Everyone enjoyed shooting arrows!
