Thanksgiving 2008

On Thanksgiving morning Sterling had a job to do. He needed to build our new swing set. He have a fabulous park, but it has no swings. James loves to swing, so we got our very own swing set. James has been asking for a swing set for at least 2 years and we finally did it. So, since Thanksgiving morning is the first chance Sterling has had in a long time to spend time with the family, James and Sterling set off to build the swing set!





As soon as anything was assembled, the kids were on it. Piece by piece they went from one thing to another. It was pretty funny. I was in the house trying to make things for dinner and they were outside building. Sophia would just go back and forth. She was very excited too!

It was my first time ever making Thanksgiving Dinner. We ate a little later than planned but everything worked out pretty well.
Thanks Dad and Mimi and Tina for all your support and recipes!

The adults still needed to wait, we ate way too much for dinner!

How fun! It looks so nice and green and warm there! Great job doing your 1st Thanksgiving. I did my first turkey when we were living in Texas. It always slows you down on your first time. I'm sure you did great!

Staci,
I'm so proud of you!!! Yeah for your first Thanksgiving.

Look at you, you are already a pro.

I think it's so funny we both did turkey hats for the kids. Great minds think a like.

Wishing you were here to have Thanksgiving with us...

Oh the swing set looks so fun. I love that the boys were playing with it every step of the way. How fun. I'm glad Sterling was home for Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving
