We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. My little family drove up to my Aunt Toni's house for the big event. She lives in Nacogdoches which took us five and a half hours to drive. We left on Wednesday and stayed several nights there in "the white box" (my daughters words) or what others would call a camper. We brought the kids bikes and Mikey learned just how far his bike could skid on pebbles safely. The kids went fishing and had so much fun hanging out with everyone and showing off a little. John took the kids for several rides on a large ATV (kinda like a mix between a four wheeler and a go cart. Very cool! On thanksgiving day there were 20 something people bringing food and eating with friends and family. My mom and her husband came too, so my kids were in double heaven. Everyone played games and talked it up. They had a pool table, a dart board, washer toss (I am not good at that game), and a wonderful pond to play around. I took a walk with my cuz, I just love her. After the crazy big meal and all of our taste buds were well spoiled someone hooked up a Karaoke machine. It was fun singing again and it was fun to watch the others sing too. My uncle got up there a few times and I love his voice...kinda reminds me of Randy Travis. My cuz Cheri has a wonderful voice and we even sang a few songs together. My mom ended up singing Johnny Cash because her voice is gone due to asthma (funny sight to see my tiny little mom singing Johnny). It was a blast. Great memories that will last forever. I have so much to be thankful for and this wonderful get together just added to my thankfulness.

Dawayne and I had a fun time with yall. He wore hisself out playing washers, and I just had a blast doin everything...the walk was stimulating, and the laughter was healing in many ways that I cant even begin to explain.I am so thankful to God for my blessed family, and that I was able to spend my favorite holiday with them. (you). I hope that we can make a tradition out of this wonderful event. I just wish the whole family could have come, but oh well. I do love you and enjoy spending time with you. I think we ARE kindred spirits, sharing so many common likes and dislikes. take care girl, and thanks for the pics...they were great!!!
I wish I could have been there too.I think of my grandbabies all the time. On turkey day I cooked four turkeys one ham two 7-up cakes a pineapple upside down cake seven pumpkin and nine sweet potatoe pies and four side dishes and on thanksgiving day I took most of the pies and turkey over to the christain shelter not far from me as I do every year. It reminds me of how blessed i am.
