Thanksgiving Mem'ries 2010

Thanksgiving 2010, in the books. It was our first time hosting the festivities, and our second time celebrating thankfulness and gorging together. I like hosting at our home, because when it's over...we're already home. No driving while heavy eyelids yell at you for overeating that controversial tryptophan-stuffed Turkey.

We had a nice, small gathering of 7 at our house: my Dad, half-sister and her husband, as well as A's brother and his wife. And although we only had 7 there to eat, A cooked for ninety. My dad joked that she forgot she wasn't cooking for our seven kiddos this year because there was food on top of food on top of food, underneath food. And I think he was right. However, next year? Gonna be a food-a-thon over here because we have the lil' ones also. Let the feasting and food messes begin!

And speaking of food, A really outdid herself. There were helpings and sides for days. And desserts and appetizers. Teas, wines...beer? Hey, we're in Texas! Goes with the territory. Anyhoo...

The whole day was great. We started it off with a couple bucks & a Bible's "Operation: ThanksBibling" downtown handing out the Word, then made our way back here to cook - um, well A cooked...I watched. And took pictures.

We hope to have even more people with us next year to help celebrate the giving of thanks. Hope everyone's went splendidly!
