Thanksgiving 2008

I always LOVE getting my family together! Now that all my children are grown with families of their own living in different towns, it is more difficult to have the whole crew together. For Thanksgiving, our family meets for Thanksgiving dinner the weekend after Thanksgiving. Jimmy and Roan spend Thanksgiving Day with Roan's parents, and Russ and Megan spend it with her family. So, the weekend after is the perfect time for us. It is always special no matter when we celebrate! This year was no different! Jenny, Roan, and Megan all made delicious dishes. Jim and a friend fried a turkey, and we were set for a feast! Before dinner, Jimmy took me to buy a new Christmas tree! My old one had long since seen it's day. The grandchildren decorated my new tree for me after dinner. They did a beautiful job, and it was so much fun to watch them interact and get my home ready for the holidays.
