Give Thanks for Thanksgiving

     Thanksgiving started with the famous Turkey Bowl!  The men had a great time, not sure who won, they all came home smiling.  Our guys loved making an entrance on these scooters.  They belong to Devin's friend Sam.  He said if Devin could fix them he would let him ride them around.  He did and they did.
    He is so happy!

     We celebrated our Thanksgiving with our Virginia friends who, like us, live too far away from family.  We are so very blessed to have such great friends here in Virginia.  We are thankful every day for the friends we have and the way they seem like family while we live so far away from our own.
      Thanksgiving originated with the Pilgrims as a day of fasting and prayer.  However, there was no fasting going on at our party!  We had turkey, stuffing, rolls, pies... and all the yummy, traditional Thanksgiving foods.  Everything was so delicious!
(Devin made the apple and peach-berry pies...YUMMY!) 
      I want to cast my vote in for a new tradition... A new Thanksgiving Trading Spaces edition... Put the men in the kitchen and the women... out of the kitchen.  Devin really did most of the cooking for our family.  He and Ricky had turkey duty and he also made two incredibly delicious pies.  (I lucked out with the easy job of making a jello and a vegetable tray.)  All in favor of the men in charge say "I"!
(Mindy was our fabulous decorator!)

     Thanks to Nicolina who let us invade her house when she has a brand-new newborn. We had such a good time stuffing ourselves full and lounging all day. Thanks!
