David and I had our first Thanksgiving feast at our school. Part of the feast is the baskets that are raffled off. Every class gathers a basket with different themes and the money collected goes back into our school.
We had a thankful tree that evening.
GG was our guest since Daddy was working.
Thanksgiving was so special this year. We hosted 16 people in our home. James' mom and John, his Meme and Pop, Sarah, my mom and our best friends Dara and Jeremy along with their beautiful girls.
There was no shortage of food and I sure loved the sights and sounds in my kitchen as we all gathered to prepare our meal that day.
James' 36th birthday was the day before Thanksgiving so we waited a day to celebrate all together.

On Sunday when everyone went home our house was so quiet and lonely. We really enjoyed our Thanksgiving.
