Thanksgiving Vacation - Day 3: Thanksgiving

Awe, Thanksgiving Day.  Tony and I were in charge of the drinks and Tony had gone to the store the day before and picked up them up, so we didn't have much to do for the dinner.  Wendy made us some pancakes and bacon for breakfast.  It was good.  

Wendy still needed to pick up what she needed for her charcuterie board.  So, after breakfast I went with her and Benje in the morning to the store to help pick out the yummy charcuterie goodness.  

After we got back, Sherri and her family had come to start making her stuffing muffins.  Wendy then started making her charcuterie board.  After that was done, we all enjoyed the appetizer and waited for the rest of the family to come.  

Gabe came with his turkey and started to deep fry it in the front yard.  The boys liked helping him with the fryer and felt very manly.  My parents then came with their turkey and Teagan.  Teagan had started coughing the day before and this day she had gotten really sick.  She was coughing really hard and had chills and a fever.  But she masked up and still came to be with the family.  

Julie and Kevin's family then came with all their food.  They had made a lot and had some warming up to do at Wendy's house.  After everything was ready, we prayed and ate.  Everything was very good, and we all had a great meal with great company.  

After eating we decided that us girls wanted to do our snowman craft that night instead of the next night because Sherri was going to leave back towards home in the afternoon the next day.  So, Julie, Betsy, Sherri and I headed to Julie's to pick up the craft to be completed at Wendy's.  

The kids all played in the front yard while we went to Julie's.  Megan and Allie tried to get into the pool, but it was too cold, so they didn't last very long.  Megan had wanted to go in so bad before we ate, but I told her to wait until after dinner.  I probably should have just let her try it while it was sunny.

Once we got back with the crafts, us gals got busy making our cute showmen.  Julie always comes up with the cutest crafts and shows us how to do them.   The dudes all hung out together while us gals crafted.  My boys just love to play with Wendy's small dogs.  They love that they can hold them and snuggle them.  Luckily the dogs love to be held and love the attention, so everyone is happy.

After we finished the craft, we all cleaned up and then people went back to their homes for bed.  It was another great Thanksgiving and always wonderful to be with the whole family.
