It's holiday time again, and we're grateful to still have three of our four children living near us. I miss having Jared's family in town. He and Jenny will have their own little family Thanksgiving in their Palo Alto home.
Our home seems large when it's just me and Mike, but the more grandchildren we get, the less space our dining room holds! This year, I was excited to make a Thanksgiving feast for all to enjoy. Our meal consisted of baked ham, rotisserie marinated rib roast, sweet potato casserole, funeral potatoes, rolls, creamed spinach, stuffing, whole cranberry salad, fruit salad, pumpkin pie, cherry pie, and a pumpkin cheesecake combo.
Our family played the White Elephant gift exchange game, drew names for their Secret Santa's for Christmas, and played Charades. I sent the kids home with some of the leftovers, and Mike and I enjoyed the rest for over a week!

We all love and enjoy the holidays!
After dinner and games, the boys had fun playing outside in the leaves, but I think Beau felt tortured at times!
