Thanksgiving

 Happy Thanksgiving!!!  One of my favorite holidays...and not because of the food.  It's true what they say, food doesn't taste quite as good when you make it yourself.  I started cooking at about 9 that morning and had time to sit for about 10 minutes until we ate at 4 that afternoon.  I now know why my mom's back was hurting, every year. :)  However, it's all worth it!  I love having family over and being able to spend time with them.  Van, Patti and, Kerri came along with Jarom, Liina and Hanele, and of course Kristine and Mike wtih their kids.  We feasted (is that a word?) visited and watched movies.  Mike deep fried a turkey and I baked one, a long with lots of sides.  Mike Crosby brought the other half of dinner a long with desserts.

Mike carving the turkey....look how happy he is to do it!   Our feast!

 Just before the Thanksgiving break, Haileys class put on a play about the first Thanksgiving.  Hailey was a pilgrim and she even had a part..... "Mercy Me!"
