Thanksgiving Part 2

The cousins had a great time playing Foosball, air hockey and playing games on their computers!  Of course the girls and I spent most of our morning in the kitchen but that's typical - it's a LOT of work to put together a Thanksgiving meal!!



Brad smoked one turkey and Jaime did one in the oven!  They both were delicious along with the spiral ham I brought!
 

Punch is ALWAYS on the menu and this year I did a quadruple batch!  No, there wasn't any left at the end of the day!!




It's hard to get these boys off of their computers but we managed at times!!


This MUST be after the meal was eaten and the dishes were done!


More games being played!


Eating pie - apple and pumpkin - I think my mouth must have been full when this picture was taken!


Don't we have cute grand girls?


Papa made each of the kids a turkey out of pine cones, kind of like the ones you used to make in school!  They thought that was pretty cool!  And for Gwyn he made an elephant out of wood and for Parker, a penguin out of wood!


It was an awesome day spending it together!

Friday Jill and I went shopping - I had nothing to buy (but of course ended up buying stuff at Kohl's because it was SUCH a good deal!!!) since my presents were all bought and wrapped but we had a fun time together and enjoyed lunch before heading back up the mountain!

That evening Rayna and Matias stopped and picked up pizza for all of us since they had been shopping too.  We had a mini snowstorm come through right about the time we were driving over to Jaime's - wow, was it slick and messy and hard to see!!

All in all, one fantastic Thanksgiving!!

What a great get-together! But the punch does not look like 'Mom's' punch - remember the red punch? Amanda still makes it every Christmas (I can hardly drink it - too sweet!)
