Thanksgiving Wishes

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We spent the day at my parent's home with two brothers, a sister-in-law and a niece and nephew.  It was a great meal - as you can see - tons of food.  Which meant lots of leftovers.  Doug was unable to join us because he was home sick & sleeping (or watching some movies).  He did get to enjoy the food that was brought home. 

Thanksgiving Night Time

Ryan was sick a few days before Thanksgiving and missed school. When he started feeling better, he was pretty bored yet not up to really playing. So, we kept talking about playing a board game. Finally on Thanksgiving evening, after coming home from our feast, we set the board up, put on the Christmas Tunes on the iPod and played Star Wars Monopoly for a couple hours. We had to finish the next day.

The board:
Doug was Commander Cody. He must've gone to jail at least 9 times. I've never seen one person go to jail so many times in one game before, it was crazy. It seemed like every time we turned around he was being sent to jail.

Thanksgiving Day Time

This year for Thanksgiving dinner, we went to my brother's house. Each family brought different favorite Thanksgiving dishes to share. Doug made a turkey and I made sweet potatoes. As usual, there was plenty of food to be eaten, conversations to be had and fun memories to share.

Just one table of food:

Yesterday was Thanksgiving. We celebrated with my family at my brother's house. Almost the whole family was able to come - minus one brother & his family (except for my nephew Craig that came for the weekend from College), and 2 nieces and 1 nephew and thier families. As always, there was WAY too much food. It was all very yummy! We feasted on turkey, ham, potatoes - mashed & sweet, vegetables and fruit. Not to mention the very yummy pies - Peanut Butter, Caramel Apple, Key Lime, Pumpkin Cheesecake & Derby. Thanks to everyone that contributed to such a wonderful meal and company. I must've really had a good time because I didn't take as many pictures as I thought I had.
