I think I have calculated our annual Thanksgiving dinner with friends to be at least 7 or 8 years long in running! Usually, the group consists of us, the Gerratts, and the Blads. This year, the Francis' were in town, it was so nice to be all together again. There were 8 kids, 8 adults; lots of noise, laughter, some tears, and LOTS of great memories made!
The feast was held at the Gerratt's new home, which is beautiful I might add, and it began with a Thanksgiving craft. Sommers organized a cute felt Turkey Headband (more like a sweatband!) which Trey LOVED wearing. He wore it ALL NIGHT LONG, he even slept with it!
The meal was fabulous, everyone added their favorites, rolls, yam casserole (mine!), turkey, jell-o, etc.
Also, two announcements were made over dinner! The Gerratt's are expecting at the end of May, and shortly after their new arrival, another one will be entering the world. Not to give it away, but it is NOT us! So exciting for the Gerratts and the ****'s! So much to be thankful for!
Thank you Gerratt's for opening your home to the clan!
A picture of all of the kids. This makes me laugh so hard! From Left to Right: Shaydon, Andrew, Trey with Tian on his lap, Jackson, McCall, Aleena with Drake on her lap. Hilarious!
This picture was taken with the Gerratt's Tripod, with my camera, and with lots of help from Dustin Blad. Back Row from Left to Right: Justin and Tian, Tommy Francis with Drake, Scott Gerratt and Dustin Blad. On the couch from left to right, the scary ME, Jolynn, Sommers with Shaydon Gerratt on her lap, Brook with her kids Mccall and Andrew Blad on her lap, and on the floor from left to right, sweet little Aleena Francis, a very dazed and confused Treyman and then Jackson Blad. The whole clan. Sorry men for the cut off heads. I tried my hardest!!!
We don't see sweet Aleena very often, she is so smart, kind and a great helper to her mom!
This meal Tian decided he likes to eat with a fork. He would ONLY eat with a fork. You think you are a big kid now Tian huh?!
Trey, very proud, with a Turkey on his head and an egg nog mustache. His first taste of egg nog and he LOVED it! He loved it so much, THAT is what he had for dinner. Obviously, from the picture above, Tian out ate Trey by a long shot. No surprise there whatsoever.
