Thanksgiving 2007

Since Thanksgiving ended up being small this year, I remembered my wedding China, and decided to use it. This is, I think only the second time in thirty some years. So I thought to take a picture, but once I started serving food I forgot to take a picture. Check out Jenna's blog for that.
Check out my newly upolstered chair seats, I bought a new staple gun and went to work. They didn't turn out to bad, but my fingers were sure sore from all the pulling and tugging. I am sure they must use a special pair of pliers or something. Well worth the effort though and I like them!
The boys organized a RISK game after dinner and we all played Hearts to which was really fun. Casey also brought his cousin Malcolm from Pennsylvania who is attending the Y. We were pleased to have him and are really thankful that Jenna and Casey could come. Mostly though it was wonderful to reflect on all the blessings we have and how thankful we are for all our family and friends. We love you tons!
Our big surprise when Jenna came in is that she is pregnant and expecting a boy in March. We are so excited and what a fun way to find out. I can't believe how good she was at keeping it a secret, but it is wonderful news and I think it is the best month to have a baby. :)
