Thanksgiving

We had a fun and food filled Thanksgiving!  Grandpa Jack, Grandma Melissa, Great - Grandpa Keith & Great-Grandma Faye came to our house.  They brought lots of good food and drinks.  
Grandpa Jack & Grandma Melissa  BBQ'd the turkey and brought lots and lots of appetizers!  We were all almost full before dinner was served.  :)  
I made mashed potatoes with a cream sauce and skillet green beans in olive oil and garlic.  I also made stuffing in the crockpot!  I love the 365 days of crockpot blog.  Everything turned out really well.  
We also had lots and lots of pumpkin pie and a french silk pie with vanilla ice cream and/or whipped cream.  
The pie is all gone but we have lots of turkey dinner leftovers.  ;)  

Maverick made this hat at school.  He was excited for Thanksgiving.  


Savannah made a hat at school too.  She is also wearing the dress that Grandma Melissa made for her. 
 It is a "Savannah" original.  


Here is Abigail in her new dress! They wore them to church but we were running late and I didn't get a chance to take a picture.  When we got home from church the dresses were off before I could think about taking a picture.  


Maverick was given himself to bring home from school.  


The kids had A LOT of fun with Grandpa Jack & Grandma Melissa.  This is Abigail putting on a puppet show for everyone.  She kept saying "no peeking!!"


The kids wanted lots of piggy back rides from anyone who would give one.  This time all 3 got on daddy. 


The ride didn't last long...  :)  


We were lucky to have Great Grandpa Keith & Great Grandma Faye come and visit us for Thanksgiving.  The kids had a fun time playing and talking with them.  


Savannah couldn't wait for dinner any longer.  It was was taking soooo long to cook.  :)  


The spread... Yummy! 


Kids playing outside


Maverick was practicing soccer to show Grandpa & Grandma what he does during his games.


I love desert sunsets.  





Thank you to Grandpa Jack & Grandma Melissa for taking lots of pictures while you were here!! I didn't pick up my camera once so it is great that I could "borrow" these pictures from you.  :)
