Thanksgiving this year came in with a little rain. OK, it rained a lot! But seriously wouldn’t you rather have rain than ice or snow? At this point I would.
So for Thanksgiving this year we had Daryl’s side over and we were hoping for a good turnout. We were really lucky because almost everyone was able to make it. I tried to do a count of people, and I know we were over 40 for dinner. I think everyone had a good time and other than the yucky rain that we had, it was perfect. There was more than enough to eat (check out the food tables) and if you left hungry – well I guess that was your fault 🙂
We did something a little different this year and Daryl’s sister in law and family organized the meal and we just had to show up. Now honestly, how easy is that? The kids ended up playing with quite a few of the games that we had set up. I had to laugh because one of the more popular tables was the coloring table. We even had a birthday cake for one of the sister in laws. Too bad she wasn’t a Cyclone fan! But now it’s the end of the day and everyone has packed up their dishes and has headed home for rest of the long weekend. As for me? Well I’m going to give it a couple of days and then it’ll be time to feed the fall pumpkins to the chickens and get a Christmas tree. All I can say is that I better get my next weeks list done! We’re having my side come over for St.Nicholas day and Christmas next Saturday and I’ve got some work to do!
