Happy Thanksgiving

Funny story for Thanksgiving.....Abrey sees us preparing the turkey to put in the roaster and she is saying bird....bird.....and so my mom and I say yes we are gonna cook it and then we get to eat it. Well she gets a sad face and sad voice and says.....oh no no no turkey bird......so then we tell her that we won't eat it and that he is just gonna get a bath....lol. Then she was happy and was saying turkey bath....turkey bath.....it was so funny because she was really anguished about the turkey getting cooked and eaten.....lol. Anyway, this was the first Thanksgiving that I can remember that I have gotten stay put in one house on Thanksgiving and it was really special for me and an added plus it was in our home. I have so much to be thankful for.....family, friends, loving and being loved and best of all God in our lives. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and recognized all their blessings.....even if they can't see them at the moment....doesn't mean they aren't happening. Here are some pictures...mostly of food....lol....because I forgot to take pictures when we sat to eat but in attendance was myself, Adam, Abrey, my mom, Don, Tina and Jeremy. Also take note of my cornicopa that I made......lol....and I made a yummy cherry pie that was the best pie this year if I do say so myself.......I also made a pecan and pumpkin pie and Tina brought a Chocolate pie that was yummy too. I made a cheese ball from Aunt Pauline's reciepe which was originally Karen's I think and it's so good and of course we had turkey, Grandma Jackie's stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, corn and croissants. It was all yummy and delicious and thanks to mom and Tina for helping make it great!

Abrey's first pony tail...yes I said ponytail.

I can finally gather up enough of Abrey's hair to put in a full fledged ponytail, not a tree. It makes her look more like a little girl than ever. However, she still has one whole side that is still bald and when in the ponytail you can really see it....but hey...it's progress. Next feat, pig tails...lol
