THANKSGIVING FEAST

November 26, 2015

THANKSGIVING was held at Debbie's this year. There was tons of great FOOD and it was kind of a quiet day with most of the kids and their families going to the In-Laws this year. Zach and Kell stopped over for a while before going to her family's dinner.  The best part about this THANKSGIVING was when after we cleared the table, we video interviewed my Dad getting some of his history recorded. We did that for hours. It was so interesting I feel relieved getting it all on video.  I am so THANKFUL for all I have but especially my FAMILY. So happy to be gathered with them this year.

Steven called me at least 20 times this morning because he was so excited for this THANKSGIVING SURPRISE!  I didn't even recognize him at first. This was the funniest mask! It looked like he overate or was having an allergic reaction to something he had eaten. So funny!

 Isn't this the funniest mask? I didn't even recognize Steven when I walked in!

                                          Diane and Logan with Reed in the background

                                                                 Andy the turkey carver

                                                             Mona and Dad

 Mom cut both thumbs. We need to keep her away from sharp objects!

                           Debbie and her rolls that didn't really raise but tasted good just the same.

 I just had to get one more pic of Steven in here. I loved this!

                                                             Little Waylon

                                              Oh no! Andy is pulling the faces now!

 Debbie did a great job with the centerpieces. I loved the gold sprayed bottles. Cute!

                                    Waylon's favorite part was pulling out all of the toys

 Boston fought his parents on what to wear. He won! They figured he'd learn the hard way when he got cold. Unfortunately, I don't think he ever did! ;)

 Me and Debbie. This year I made two new recipes: A Corn Bake Casserole that everyone loved and a Cranberry Fluff Fruit Salad. I loved that one. I also made Aunt Ida's Onions and Seven LayerSalad this year. Oh yeah and Deviled Eggs. I don't like making those. I don't think I will next year! :)

 The Gibson's. I didn't notice Andy pulled this face when I took this pic. Oh dear! What is wrong with all the guys in our family? Weirdo's!

                                         I love this photo of the Gibson's! Super cute!

Then we video taped Dad's life story. This was my favorite part of the day!

ONE LITTLE INDIAN BOY

November 2015
 Boston stopped by my work to show me what he had made at Preschool. He made a headband with a feather, a paper vest (which he had taken off prior to this pic) and a colorful noodle necklace. He had a THANKSGIVING FEAST at work and learned a lot about the INDIANS and PILGRIMS.

I love his INDIAN FACE PAINT.  He is getting so big I cannot get over it. Cute Waylon in the back!

A FEW RANDOM NOV PICS

                       Remington and Ashely build forts and have a fun time doing it!

 My happy little Waylon. Love this boy and his sweet smile. Seriously he makes me smile!

                                            We love it when Grandma Shirley comes over.

ARCADE GAMES

November 21, 2015

After we went BOWLING for Steven's birthday, Me,  Jess and Brody let Boston and Reece play some of the ARCADE GAMES. They had so much fun! Boston loved playing anything he could shoot (especially the Pirate Game) or drive. I love watching the two of them play together especially because it reminds me so much of Zach and Jessica playing together at this age. I love it!

 

                                             Cute little Beau could even ride the carousel!

                                                     What a fun time at Boondocks!

STEVEN'S 58TH BIRTHDAY

November 21, 2015

Steven sure loves his BIRTHDAY and this year he turned 58. He was so excited that we were going to go BOWLING at Boondocks. I ordered him a cute BOWLING CAKE and we had a lot of fun CELEBRATING STEVEN'S BIRTHDAY!!

Before we left for Boondocks he had to come show us his BIRTHDAY SURPRISE! He gets more excited over his SURPRISE than anything else. He loves dressing up in costume or mask and he gets a kick out of us being surprised over him. This time we were shocked, just not expecting this at all! He walked in with HORSE HEAD. So funny Steven!!

 

              Isn't this the funniest horse head? We died laughing when we saw him in this!

                                      He wanted to get a picture of Mom with the horse

                                                 I love this cute pic of Boston and Reece.

This is my favorite pic of Steven! He FINALLY let someone take a pic of him smiling. I got a few of him today. He was all smiles about his birthday! But this is really cute of him and Andy that Andy got with his cell phone. Good job Andy!

                                                  Andy STRIKES the Steven Pose!

 So happy I could take this little guy with me to the party since his parents couldn't come. We had a great time!

                                                             The Birthday Guests!

Unfortunately for us, Steven won all of us! We won't hear the end of it until we go again and beat him! He is a very POOR WINNER!  We had a great time together as a FAMILY. Thanks for turning 58 years old Steven!
