Thanksgiving Blessings

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week full of family and fun!

My sister, her husband, their 2 small children, and my brother made the long drive from Minnesota to Texas to spend the week.  They came on the Sunday before Thanksgiving and left on the Saturday after.   When you add our 2 girls and their families it made for a lively group of 15, with 6 being children 6 and under.

Fun times.

Memory making times.

Sad to say I didn't get a lot of pictures.  But, I did get a few and I will share those in the coming days.  

Along with them in their car from Minnesota came a little bug.  It made Emma sick on the way down, it hit Evan first thing Monday morning, and then went to Jim {sister's husband}, then me, to Bob and my brother.  The only one in the house that survived was my sister.  We stayed away from  Laura and Jessica's families until Wednesday hoping to spare them.

Everyone was well on Thanksgiving {so we were extra thankful!} and preparations were kept very simple!  I used my everyday dishes and paper napkins but I think the table was pretty in a very simple way.

My girls really did the bulk of the cooking so it was very easy for me.  I think the only thing I made was the gravy! 

I love having adult daughters:-)

We had a wonderful time together.  

I am so thankful for my family!
