Thanksgiving #2: Part 2: Dinner and a Program
After the Turkey Bowl - everyone headed home to finish the cooking and baking preparations. We met back up at Carolyn and Brian's home. Carolyn had truly out-done herself. The table settings were exquisite. She had thought of every detail - from centerpieces to favors - even down to the crafts and coloring at the kids table to keep them busy while we dished up the food. It was picture perfect. The food was fabulous and being with family is almost fun. But I must admit one of my favorite parts this year was the program. What a cute idea! Carolyn found all of these costumes and some of the cousins were able to dress up and play the part of the "Pilgrims and Indians" and "Their First Thanksgiving Dinner." The kids were troopers and the program was a hit. Thanks Carolyn!
After the festivities most of us (excluding the four littlest and Super-Cousin Morgan [who stayed behind to watch the kids]) went to the movies. It was a fun way to end the day.
Thanks again Carolyn and Brian for opening your home to us all. It was a wonderful day. We are grateful we were able to be there to celebrate with all of you.

We just wanted to add a special note to our family and friends we did not see... We love you all and are so grateful for each of you.
Also at this time, we are so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who continually blesses us and our little family.
May we all remember the blessings in our lives - not only today, but each day of our lives.
