First Thanksgiving

Every year for the past five years my parents have had a special Thanksgiving dinner with their bible study group. It's become quite the little tradition and this year I was able to join in!! We enjoyed a nice hearty meal of turkey, green been casserole, homemade rolls, spicy corn, cheesy potatoes and about 50 other things! I tried as much as my mom would allow, but some things I spit out. I'm getting to not like green beans, which is horrible according to my parents since they cook them a lot.

After eating, it was nice for dessert! There was also about 50 kinds of desserts, but before we enjoyed them, we went outside to Andrew's deck to enjoy his built in firepit for s'mores! Here Mom and Laura might be enjoying them a little too much!
And here was a test to see how many people could fit into one of my mom's traditional "hold the camera yourself and shoot" photos. Six people attempted, but as you can see, only five are truely in the photo. (Nate, Amy, Laura and mom in middle, Dan up high and Lori [or Lora - mom just met her that night] is down low)
First I chilled at the firepit with mom....
And then later with Dad!
After we all had our fill of s'mores, we moved inside for pie and Amy's apple cider brewing in the crockpot! And then it was game time! I hung out with my fellow red head Julie!
