Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving 2008 was by far the least eventful and nice Thanksgiving since 2004 when we started doing foster care and first had two of our three adopted boys home for the holidays. Wow!!! has it been a wild ride!! I wouldn't trade 'em for a barrel of monkeys ...on a day when I could tell which were the monkeys.

We didn't have any company this year per my request. After having the sweet granddaughters for three weeks and Don gone nearly every weekend we needed a quiet holiday. So, here are some pictures from the Thanksgiving dinner.

Morgan is about to turn me out of the kitchen. She can cook pretty much anything needed. Here she is making pie. Can you see the flour evidence.

We gave the camera to someone under 10 years of age so you get Morgan scowling and me eating.


Who had ketchup on my Thanksgiving dinner? KayLynn wasn't present so it must have been Janna!!


Caught licking the mashed potatoes.Yum! Yum!

Janna wanted apple pie. She is learning to core the apples. She was very proficient at the end of six apples.

I asked Don to carve the turkey. I am not sure why I do this each year. I am sure I can do it since , I am always at his shoulder giving advice. It just seems like a man-of-the-house thing to do.

What is up with the air bubble in this pie? I ate this part just to make sure it was ok. lol What I sacrifice for my family.

Thank You, Lord God, for all you have given and kept from our family this year. You are good beyond our understanding. Each day we depend on You for the strength to live in the plan You have made for us and to be You in the flesh to all those around us.
