Thanksgiving 2012

This Thanksgiving might go down as one of my favorites.

It was a warm day, beautiful and sunny, but crisp.

My Nana's is always at noon on Thursday.

The food was AMAZING!

The hostess is AMAZING!

She deserves a whole post on her own.

She is my soul sista!  FOR SURE! 

 

In all my years I've never been up to this particular spot on her land.

Typically there was an electric fence in this corner of the land that had donkey(s) so I'm sure that had something to do with it.

Just a few of us walked up there first, but then we convinced most of the rest of the group to come up too.

It was so nice to just be outside.  Free room to run and play.  Warm sunshine on our faces after our bellys were ful. 

Truly a day to be thankful for.

After Nana's we headed home for naptime, only to find Kirby had eaten the very last ra-ra.

We wrestled on the couch for about 45 minutes before Easton fell asleep, but he finally did.

 

After nap, we headed to Grandmomma's.

Still stuffed from Nana's but we enjoyed some yummy food and desserts again.

 

At Grandmomma's each year, we make a craft.  I love this tradition.

This year was modge podging a piece of cardboard with old hymns then stenciling your favorite holiday saying on top and painting.

Below is the example.

Then once dry, you put it in a festive frame and you have a new Christmas decoration!

So easy, and so cute!!!

We truly have SO MUCH to be thankful for!
