Thanksgiving 2024

 And another Thanksgiving has rolled around.....  A time to reflect on all of the blessings we have and to come together as a family and celebrate those blessings!

It was a cold but beautiful day here - the Keppys and the Savages both drove down that morning to Jaime's and we headed over as soon as the ham was done!  It's always so fun to ALL be together!

What a cute picture of Gwyn and Papa!

Check out how TALL this girl is getting!!  It won't be long till she's as tall as I am!!  She always helps me make the punch each year!

Jessi didn't get the memo that we were wearing our Thanksgiving shirts that Jill made us - oh well, she definitely looked cute though and matched Gwyn!

Rayna working on ham and turkey roll-ups - they don't last long!!

Quite the crew working on the relish tray!

Last year these two made a turkey veggie tray - this year it was fruit!

Parker is ALWAYS the first one up when I yell downstairs that the punch is ready - he loves it!

We actually ate on time this year since Brad had smoked 2 delicious turkeys that didn't take as long as he thought they would - they were excellent!

And the crew at the bar!

 Finally the adults at the big table!  The meal was fantastic! 

The boys did most of the clean up this year since the girls had helped with the meal prep!  I had brought over my cute apron (from my dear friend Jo) and I didn't even have to put it on to do dishes this year - wow!!

We played games in the afternoon while the guys watched football - ate delicious pumpkin and apple pie - watched 5 dogs play together nicely (most of the time!) and just enjoyed our time together!  Planning out our Estes Park menu and plans took a while too!

We are SO BLESSED to have a wonderful family!

Evan and Parker stayed at the Smiths' while the rest of the Keppys' and the Savages stayed at our house!  I had bought a nice blow up mattress for the office that Jessi and Gary slept on and they said it was comfortable so that's good!!  We were all pretty tired at the end of this awesome day!
