Our Thanksgiving

I love when the boys bring home art projects from school.  They are so thoughtful and crafty and I want to keep each and every one of them to enjoy when our boys grow up to be adults so that we can spend time discussing what each were thinking when they created such masterpieces.  In particular, I have a few questions about one of Drew's most recent masterpieces.  While I LOVE the "Kissing Hand" book and we've read it many times together at home, I'm curious just how my first born son sees me.  In his eyes, apparently, I have the biggest boobs in America.  Wow.  Dan is a very lucky guy.      


Our Thanksgiving was great.  I feel very happy, rested and full (probably 8 pounds fuller than I was last Wednesday).  We hosted Thanksgiving for Dan's side of the family at our house on Thursday afternoon.  Check it out - I made my very first turkey:).     


And anyone that knows me well, knows that I enjoy a nicely set table.  I have a thing for nice dishes.  And flatware.  And crystal.  And chargers.  So Thanksgiving was very enjoyable for me.  I got to use my Christmas china AND our wedding china.  






The little turkeys had their own table . . . far away from the china!  


We started a new tradition at the Mathews Family Thanksgiving this year.  We rented out a hall (since we're growing to be too big for anyone to host this fabulous event) and we had a table decorating contest.  Each family was to decorate a table and a prize would be awarded to the table that earned the most votes.  Check out the Stirnaman Family table (i.e. the winning table for 2012!)

We had so much fun!  Thanks to all that put it together and many thanks to Aunt Krissi for making our table shine!  





 


 I am grateful for so many things.  I pray that the spirit of Thanksgiving will remain in our hearts all year long.
