The First Thanksgiving

I was going to post about Thanksgiving and then I realized that I never posted about last year's Thanksgiving. So that's what this post is! (I know it's pathetic that I am still determined to catch up ... but I am going to do it!!)

Last year we were going to bless Gavin the Sunday after Thanksgiving and so we had both families come in to town. We decided the best option was to combine families and have a big Thanksgiving dinner! Our friend's Dave and Brittany were out of town and they were nice enough to let some of our family stay in their house and to allow us to host Thanksgiving there.

Hillary was in town for a few days before so she and I split up the dishes for dinner. Once everyone else came in to town they helped out as well. We had plenty of food and it was delicious!!

Our little turkey was only 2 months old!
These were just some funny pictures of him that I wanted to post.
Caitlin, Brian and cousin Taylor.
Josh, JJ, Hillary, Margaret and Taylor again.
Jonyce, Greg, Mom and Dad.
Heather, Kevin, Seth, Rachel, Kadin and Kaylee.
The food was delicious!!
Andrew thought it was really good!
It was pretty cold outside but the kids still had a fun game of duck, duck, goose!

Even though he didn't get to eat any turkey, Gavin still had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving. We were so blessed to have all of our family there to celebrate with us. It was a great first Thanksgiving for Gavin!!

I love that little turkey shirt. I am glad you are catching up. I bet it was so good to have both families in town, last year:)
