The Gang's All Here...

When we told our families that we were able to come to Kentucky to celebrate Thanksgiving, they were thrilled!!! This is the moment Annette and I saw each other...Can you tell she is excited?!?!? Too fun!!!

Nana V was greeted with BIG hugs from Azaryah the moment she walked in the door!!!

Glen and his Mommy were HAPPY to see one another as well...

Me and Mama...It was good to have her cookin' again!!!

Me and Daddy...It is always fun to hang out with my parents!!! We are all looking forward to their 2 week visit in December!!!

The Gang's All Here continued...

Family is such a blessing...We don't get to visit with them much, so this week was a real treat ;-)

The Girls...

The girls enjoyed doing Make-overs on one another...Boy, they did a LOT of making over!!! heehee

Daddy and his little girls...

Jason and his little girl...

The Boys...

While the girls enjoyed making over one another, the boys enjoyed some computer games...

Noah dressed up in Star Wars costumes...

Andrew watched some TV...

Noah, Logan, Corbyn, Austin and Azaryah played a TON of Wii games...

The Food

Jason and I started the preparations off by getting the green beans and sweet potatoes in the crockpots...

Annette, Hannah, Eden and Keziah very quickly joined the fun...

Keziah and Hannah helped Nana BJ cut up the veggies for the cornbread dressing...

Of course, they had to take a little nibble...

Nana V and Azaryah made Nana's yummy strawberry jello with pretzels!!! YUM-O

Cooking Time continued...

Nana V showed the Eden and Keziah how to roll out the dough for the dumplins...

Mom and Hannah stirred the dumplins to keep them from sticking...

Making dumplins is a team effort...Mom cut out the dumplins and I stirred the pot...It takes a long time to make them but they are OHHH SOOO WORTH IT!!!

The girls LOVE working in the kitchen with me but it is REALLY a treat to be able to help both Nanas cook!!!

YUM-O!!! What a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving meal!!! Many loving hands prepared the meal and many appreciative mouths ate the meal!!!

Snack Time...

Of course, we all had to nibble on a few goodies while we waited on dinner...Annette and Jason are SPOILING THEIR DINNER with chocolate doughnuts!!!

Now, Aunt Nette is trying to steal Azaryah's doughnut!!! STOP IT!!!!

Azaryah and Austin shared chips and salsa...Well, Austin shared...Azaryah grabbed all his little hands could hold!!! heehee
