Fun in the Leaves

Jeff spent Saturday afternoon with the kids raking up leaves while I was at a baby shower. The kids had so much fun. Jeff got some good shots of them and the joy on their faces as they jumped into a huge pile of leaves. Oh to be a kid again! What pure fun they have with something so simple.

After all the fun they helped gather the leaves into bags and now we have a leaf free yard. Since it is now winter and no more leaves are fallin it will stay that way! Yea!

Thanksgiving

Here is Jackie showing off our yummy Thanksgiving dinner (minus the Turkey, it was being carved at the time). We had a very relaxing, enjoyable Thanksgiving Day. Jeff was able to play Football in the morning, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Although, he paid for it all week with a sore body, but he said it was well worth it. We had a tasty turkey that he had smoked. If you have never had a smoked turkey you are missing out! It is delicious! We realized how blessed and grateful we need to be. I am glad that there is a specific holiday and time set apart to be Thankful. We are Thankful. Here are our happy kids enjoying some Turkey!

And here is the gravy maker and turkey carver. We couldn't have Thanksgiving Dinner without him. The gravy was so delicious too, with the drippings from the Turkey, yumm that is the best.

Here is the meal and the meal maker. It was fun to prepare a whole Thanksgiving Dinner for just our little family. We would have loved to spend it with Family or Friends, but it didn't work out this year. It was nice to have our own family to spend it with though.
