Thanksgiving

Emma's class did a Thanksgiving play and Emma was the lead character... it was a play about Sarah Josefina Hale who wrote the poem "Mary Had a Little Lamb"... she also went to President Abe Lincoln to petition him to make Thanksgiving a National Holiday! Emma was just brilliant!

Normally I would do a gumbo on Thanksgiving (or we have fried a turkey) but since Deanna was visiting and hasn't had an American Thanksgiving in many years, I did the traditional roasted Turkey... of course, I am not used to it... but it came out just fine... I also made my Mawmaw's cornbread dressing, Some yummy sweet potato soup, fresh cranberry sauce... and Deanna made her family's traditional "Pink Stuff" ... but we have since renamed it "Fat Salad"!

We got to skype with Russ for 45 minutes... so even though we miss him terribly, at least he was there in spirit!

Pulling the Wish Bone...

Had to include this... Leo was hiding in hide-n-seek... look at his face~! Hilarious! I think he is trying to blend in with the frig...
His job was to carry the gravy to the table... yeah...
and he can clean off a drum stick like nobodies business!


We had a fabulous wonderful day...

We love you all and miss you so much! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!
