Our Thanksgiving highlights:
1. Uncle Jerry sported a sweet beard
and convinced little children that he is Santa's cousin.
2. My mom made enough potatoes to feed an army (or Bernie's family)
and then Bernie's family got sick and didn't come.
Mashed potatoes turn to cement if you leave them long enough.
3. Aunt Diane brought a new sweet potatoes/onions dish
that was divine and her delicious broccoli casserole.
Again this year I forgot to try the corn and oyster dish. :)
4. Jeff had football watching friends.
Luke and Chad and Levi kept him company downstairs.
5. Nick and Tarrin and their kids, Rori and Henry came down
from Spokane to spend the day with us. Rori is Grace's age
(birthday buddies!) and Henry is Josh's age. So fun to see them together!
6. Ben was home from Alaska!
7. Kelly, too! They got to spend a week in the mainland visiting family.
We were so happy to see them, as they'll stay in AK for Christmas.
8. G'ma Trudy behaved herself. We think.
9. Josh got his first PUMPKIN PIE!
HE LIKED IT.
10. We filled the garage with people, food, tables, chairs...
11. ...and space heaters! Record cold/snow this week!
12. Josh and Henry had some play time...
13. ...as did Grace and Rori!
We are so thankful for a blessed year. Successful heart surgery for Papa LeRoy, successful knee replacement for G'ma Trudy, weddings of Ben & Kelly and Sarah & Adam, HS graduations of Chad and Sam, births of Josh and Henry, and a great first year of retirement for Tom and Diane. Oh, and Dad has his firewood cut and in the shed. A great day to give thanks!

What a great post! Sorry we missed it! And Dad's beard is a little scary - I didn't know he was growing one! He really does look like Santa's cousin!
