Hello
It is the morning after Thanksgiving day and the house is just waking, I can hear the kids playing upstairs and soon they will make it down to the kitchen. I am thankful...
Thanksgiving day is hectic here.
Me, I am pretty much in the kitchen all day. We have a late Thanksgiving dinner, not by choice, some of my family cannot make it here until 5. Right at crunch time. My kitchen is not set up well, so there can only be so many people helping and only 1 or 2 people by the cooking area. That means... stay out of my way :)
With 5 girls... I have more help than I need but with 5 girls they have there own agenda.
Here they are at crunch time... you know that stressful time when the gravy needs to be stirred, food needs to be on the table and the turkey is being sliced... because it all gets cold fast!
Yes, they thought a Snow White photo shoot was necessary... never a dull moment here!
Notice I'm not laughing...
But mom lets them have their fun... just stay out of my way!
Let's back up a few hours and see how the day progressed...
It just wouldn't be fun without a make-up session
Now it's Maddies turn...
Ooooh sooo pretty!
Ice Princess... Sophia
Fairy Princess... Savannah
and Maddie is Maddie
Kids Having fun
Including big kids...

and I will leave you with desert
I hope your day was filled with laughter, family, love and thankfulness as was mine.
Wishing all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.
I am so thankful for all of you.
Blessings

ReplyDeleteThat Maddie sure is a cute. Definitely looks like ya'll had a crazy good time. All the friends we used to celebrate with have moved away so we don't really do Thanksgiving dinner anymore. I'm still planning on making a pumpkin pie, sometime. There's always Christmas. :) Have a great weekend. Tammy
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful Family you have.. Your home looked lovely for the Holidays. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
ReplyDeleteWanda
lovely pictures of a lovely woman and her family! thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI hope you rested this weekend! You have such a lovely family. The desserts looked delicious. We switched to a buffet when the kids were little and I took over the meal. I do miss sit down dinners but it makes things easier and more enjoyable for me. We never know just how many we may have either. Ended up with an extra three an hour before this year. lol We used Chinet this year and I thought I had died and gone to heaven.
ReplyDeleteR.E.,
ReplyDeleteI am so very thankful to have you as a friend. I'm now wearing a grin as big as Texas after looking at your photos (loved Snow White and your reaction...lol)!
I think I could slip in with your tree house full of nuts and never feel outta place...squirrel!!!
We are blessed with such a wealth of love it's almost (notice I said "almost") a crime. Let's just call it a crime of passion...what do you say? Passion for our families, homes, and above all...the love and salvation of our saviour.
Love always,
Deb
Looks like you and your family had a lovely Thanksgiving!
