Thanksgiving Prep

*Ellie is entertaining herself. {Papaw would be proud}

*Roomie & Jessica are text messaging back & forth. {annoying beeps are coming from her phone}

*John Tucker Must Die playing on my iPod.

I made a terrific pot of Chicken & Dumplings.  Seriously, they’re just that good.   It may be my new dish to take to Thaksgiving next year.   I have a year to perfect it and make it snazzy that will give rave reviews.   Yes, a 24 y/o will be able to accomplish that and then some.  For those keeping track.  I WILL be making a 3 layer Princess Cake to top off of my Thanksgiving dishes.

I’m also going to post a few new pictures of things around the house.  I’ve redone a coffee table Roomie bought, added some pictures of of Nicole’s kids to our walls & also added a few new storage contraptions to the garage.

Never knew all these household organizers & ordinary furniture would make me so happy.

Thanksgiving 2008 Atwood, OK

It all started with Papaw and Nanny.  They didn’t live too far apart from each other, so therefore when visiting our family for Thanksgiving we don’t have to travel too far between the two places.  Atwood and Allen, two completely different towns only 10 minutes apart.  We tend to spend lunch at my cousin’s house in Allen then head to Atwood to chit chat with more family and then back to Allen for dinner.  That’s how my Thanksgiving goes.  Lots of talking, hugs and smiles.  I love my family and wouldn’t change them for anything.

Gathering round the fire drinking coffee.  Oh yes, this is a divine way to spend Thanksgiving with the family.

The younger generation showed up and I hadn’t seen them since they were shorter than I am.  Now they’re passing the 6ft mark and I have yet to hit the 5ft mark.  Somehow I don’t think I’ll ever hit 5ft, but the boys are still growing.

Thanksgiving 2008 Allen, OK

The girls looking at photos from Matt & Kelley’s wedding.  I love these girls, they’re just a tad bit crazy and related to me.  I definitely enjoy catching up with them every year and of course on Facebook.

My lovely Aunt decided to try some gymnastics.  Perhaps ya’ll think my family is a bit off the wall and they sure appear that way, but to tell you the truth we just like to have fun.

Everyone gathers in the kitchen because that’s where all the food is.  Poor Steve is the only man in the kitchen surrounded by all of the cousins.  Oh my family cracks me up sometimes.

The final resting place of my grandmother.
