About Our Thanksgiving-Finally

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, I trust y'all did too! It was great having family here with us this year. Unfortunately, David's two sisters could not make it, but we still had his parents, and his brother, and his wife and daughter.
The time went by quickly, as always!

David's Mom braved the chore of taking our family pictures for us. She did a good job, considering the fact that we have got to be the worst ones for getting our pictures taken!
She was very patient, even when dealing with behavior as shown below:
(you will have to wait till our Christmas cards to see the ones that actually did turn out) (:


Cousin Alea was the life of the party for the girls. They literally spent hours at a time playing in the woods together.


Jenny was pleased to have a second birthday party with the cake Grandma made for her




Grandma so graciously helped make the favors for our Thanksgiving lunch table. I had every intention of having them done already, but as is often the case anymore, they were still on the list of "things to get done before company arrives!"




The turkey favors


The meal was very yummy! Thanks Mom for the food you brought to help out!


As always, when we get company, we put them to work to help earn their keep! (just kidding). The men hung dry wall on the ceiling of the garage.




Finishing up



The kiddos all found Uncle Kevin entertaining and fun to play with!


Just chillin'

We ladies got to work making applesauce. We froze 41 quarts.


We will not think about all the yucky things that were on this apple. It kept him happy, so I just left it at that.






Amber still talks of missing Alea


Treyton loves jamming on the keyboard. It is a very common sight to see him with one shoe on, not ever his own. He usually manages to get one on before he gets too frustrated to get the second one on!




Christmas came early to the Summy house this year! After wearing out two used Ellipticals in the past year and a half, my Honey got me a brand new one!!
