A day to remember for a big family like ours. We fill up a house, and the street with our cars.
The pre-game is filled with catching up, snacks and drink. The kids are growing, and eat everything but the kitchen sink.
When things go wrong we laugh them away. Who turned off the oven? Just a slight delay . . .
When dinner is cooked, we gather at a big table. We find spots and squeeze in where ever we're able.
We holds hands and giggle like kids in a playhouse. Right before we get solemn and pray like He taught us.
When Bro gave the blessing we all shed some tears, for the man who had led it for so many years.
We gave thanks for the bounty we have been given, and honor our loved ones whose spirits have risen.
And after we've given our thanks and remembrances . . .
We dig in and eat like, well - pigs.
Then with bellies full from our horn of plenty, we set up like a team to clear till the table is empty.
As we're rubbing our bellies and sleepy, tired eyes - to our amazement . . . here comes coffee and pies!
And one special cupcake was there with the pie. To give us some news (and of course make us cry).
It was big and fluffy- it seemed so divine. When B got to the middle it was blue inside!
Its a boy on the way for C-nat & A . . The circle of life on a fine Thanksgiving day!
