Thanksgiving 2020

COVID certainly changed the gathering this year with our older members of the family staying home.  Those of us who gathered had a great time!  Thank you, Jessica and Terry, for your wonderful hospitality and your hard work!  I'm sure you are spending the day in total rest and relaxation!  Well, maybe not since you still have kids to deal with!  ;-)  We love you!

We gathered on Friday.  It is fun and sad to see how much the kids grow year after year!

The star of the show.......bacon-wrapped bird!

I took this picture to show how big their great Dane, Grace Raven, is!  She is the size of a pony!

She has her own love seat!  Sorry about the "FLASH" eyes that make her look like a space dog!!

The new Mr. and Mrs. Nathanael Day!  Married October 24, 2020.  Welcome to the family, Sam!

Araya and Adalina and grandma played UNO.  Araya called out "BINGO" when she had one card left in her hand!  :D

Football.  Brad got all of the girls.

Addy and Nat

The kids.  I think Abby is wondering what Addy's face means, LOL!

Grandma and Araya.  I was her favorite person over the weekend.....except when the other cousins were there!  :D

Nat's turn at football with the kids.  Looks like he's having fun!

Grace Raven, a beautiful dog!  Just don't let her step on you!  OUCH!

My girls!  Not sure whose girl the goofy one belongs to!  ;-)

A lot of silliness going on.....

Addy and Nat.

Nat and Jessica.....youngest to oldest siblings.

The only thing I am disappointed in myself with is that I didn't get group pictures of the families who attended!

Mark and I arrived Thursday and stayed through Saturday.  So we got to spend a little more time with Jessica and Terry.  We left on Saturday after a wonderful breakfast of quiche, fruit and sweet rolls.  Jessica gave us some leftover turkey and some buns and we stopped in Beckley for a potty break and got something to drink and fixed some turkey sandwiches.  Mark had been driving, so I drove the rest of the way home, arriving around 5:45 p.m.

Thanks again, Jessica and Terry, for a wonderful time of Family, Food and Fun!  We love you!

Thank You, LORD, for the blessing of family! ❤
