Thanksgiving

We hosted Thanksgiving this year. Our house was full of family! It was great.

Tiffany and Taylor came a little early and we had them for a whole week. Andrew joined us closer to Thanksgiving.

It was a "Macfarlane year" for the dinner, but we were lucky to have time with both sides of the family. Jeff and Donna and Mom and Dad came over the weekend before Thanksgiving. We spent the first half of the week with the Mercers and the second half with Macfarlanes. John and Naomi made it up from Las Vegas; the whole family was there! We also had some bonus family members: Uncle Romney and Aunt Kathleen.

These five ran the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning.
It was freezing! I think the runners were much
better off than the watchers.

Then we had family pictures!
Yes, it was a busy day.

Then, I was busy cooking, preparing, etc. So, no pics of our dinner. Sorry.

Tiffany and Andrew and Taylor were going to Alabama for Christmas;
here's a little early Christmas celebration.
Taylor loved it!

A thank you hug!
What a joy!

Yes, we still all love to watch Taylor.
A favorite family pass-time.

It's always so wonderful to have family around. It is the best blessing of Thanksgiving.

  1. Mom, as a mediocre blogger myself, maybe I'm not qualified to say anything--but it's been a year since you've updated! I'm eager for more pictures! Maybe I can help you at Christmas time? Xoxo
