Blessings

We were up early to put the turkey and fixins' in the oven.

This is my appetizer....right out of a magazine courtesy of Kathy Starkey. All in all, I think it turned out pretty well!

The kids all came....Chelsea, Whitney & Bryden...

Tim, Joni & Cooper....

Mike, Lori, Bailey and Emma.  The gang was all here and the weather was perfect!  One of the things on my agenda was getting the kids together for a Christmas Card picture....

Emma was not thrilled with my idea!

or my choice of headgear.

Then the boys got silly...

and sillier!

and so it went, but I did manage to get one that I liked later. They make me laugh which is the best!

 After food overload, the dads and I took the little ones for a creek walk.

Some of the many blessings I count.

 A run up and down the drive looked like a cross country race.

 The last activity was stone throwing.  Cooper landed a big one.

Even Miss Emma enjoyed that!
