A few days before Thanksgiving we made a Thankful Turkey. Everyone wrote or drew pics of things they were grateful for and then hung them all on the mirror in the morning room. The kids had a good time and it's nice to count blessings.

My assignment for Thanksgiving was pies. I like to bake so I made 5. Two pumpkin, two apple and a pecan. We had them with whipcream or ice cream. I love pie.


We had Thankgiving at the Kriels. Angela had this Idea to do our normal "natural" centerpiece in whites. It turned out stunning.

Kelly smoked the turkey. It was delicious and I don't think I've ever seen a prettier one.

Meryl-Rose putting the finishing touches on.

The Crew- minus Me (taking the pic) and Kimball (upstairs- not realizing that it was time).

We had an awesome and filling day. And I just wanted to say how thankful I am for my friends and family!!!
