Thanksgiving

Nik wasn't with us for Thanksgiving but I hear he had a great time.

As in the last few years

we went out for our Thanksgiving feast.

Ella enjoys her pink meat

Piper enjoys her shrimp

We all enjoyed the company!

Wyatt enjoys his pumpkin pie

Papa enjoys his scallops

After a nap it was time to go see a movie

Frozen was great

Then it was time for

sandwiches and desserts

at Thomas & Natalie's house

The turkey hat Jennifer made was being passed around

Ella had made us all cards

She is the sweetest little girl you'd ever want to meet

There's always fun when the cousins get together

We missed our Texas sweeties but they kept busy

They had a lunch with Daddy at work the day before

They went to the DEFAC (mess hall)

I was too busy enjoying myself and

didn't take my usual amount of pictures.

It was a very busy day.

I love my family and am so blessed.

Thank you God
