Wow, how quickly time goes by. It does not feel like a whole year has passed since last Thanksgiving. Our family is Thankful for so much this year! We are most thankful for the love of our Father in Heaven! Without Him in our life, we would have nothing. We are also thankful for family and friends.
This past Thanksgiving was spent at the McDonald's lovely home with the Michael's joining us. We had such a grand time with our friends and we had a good time fixing yummy food for this event. The McDonald's provided most of the delicious meal but we helped out with a few odds and ends. Here are some pictures of us preparing the food.
Elaina licking out a measuring cup that was full of honey. The look on her face proves she really enjoyed herself.
There were many dishes to wash and Adrianna was so thankful for it to be her day to wash. ;)
Elaina and Rebecca pealing and washing the potatos.
Pastor did a fine job cutting, even though he did hurts himself a little because it was so hot. We were thankful he cut our food for us.
Elaina ripping up bread for the stuffing.
Elaina and Rebecca helping mix the Stuffing.
Peter so gallantly refills our trash bag that had to be dumped quite a few times.
Adrianna wanted me to get a picture of her cutting the potatos so that people would know she didn't only do the dishes that day.

Dare I say it? This was the first homemade pie crust I have ever made! *hides in embarrassment* And I will say it turned out rather nicely considering it was a first.
Working all day long to get the food ready for the next days feast!
At the McDonald's home Melissa was really happy to see us! You can tell though, that she had her banana flipped the wrong way. ;)
Two sweet girls pausing for a picture. Behind them was some really good sparkling Cranberry juice.
The table settings. The plates were really cute and the placecards were really sweet! They had your name on them and a bible verse to go with it.
William got a little embarrassed which made him a little upset. But not for too long with Peter to the rescue!
Pastor's 2009 Thanksgiving Turkey carving lesson. As you can tell we were all really excited to watch how to cut the turkey.
Pastor did a fine job cutting, even though he did hurts himself a little because it was so hot. We were thankful he cut our food for us.
And this ends our Thanksgiving post part 1. Stick around for part 2.

Your pie crust was lovely! And the pecan pie was very tasty! Can't wait to see your captions for part two... ;)
