Girl Cousins

The Johnsons stayed with us for a couple of days before they headed to OK and then back to PA. Ash and Lily had lots of fun! They helped me make homemade biscuits Saturday morning. They were good helpers, but Lily said, "My mom usually buys them at the store so you don't have to do all this." ;o)

Thanksgiving Tablecloth

As I’ve often mentioned, our family celebrates Thanksgiving on Wednesday night – Thanksgiving Eve – and has a long-standing tradition of writing what we are thankful for on a tablecloth. (We’ve actually outgrown the first tablecloth and have added a second one!) I decided to take some pictures of the tablecloths this year. The comments, ranging from sentimental to silly, are nice reminders of all the family and friends that have graced our home over the years.

Another Thanksgiving, another family photo shoot. Last December, Mom and Dad bought some additional acres adjacent to their property. Dad wanted to take last year’s family picture out there, but the weather didn’t cooperate. The weather was perfect this Thanksgiving, so we gathered our party of 17 near what has been dubbed “The Secret Place” for a few pics.

I tried to get individual pictures of each of the kids, but neither Brandon’s nor Lily’s turned out very well. Brandon’s was blurry, and Lily was being…well, Lily. Seven out of 9 is not so bad. Maybe next time!
