After much needed sleep, they left for Indiana to meet up with her Dad & then on to Kansas City, MO to be with her ailing grandmother. Scott worked on Thanksgiving Day, so we shifted our Thanksgiving celebrations to Saturday instead.
Dave & Carissa got in to the hospital at 3am Thanksgiving Day. They were able to spend some wonderful time with grandma & the rest of her family. Since my sister Vicki has just moved to Kansas City, Dave & Carissa were able to stop in & have Thanksgiving dinner with them, an unexpected treat for my sister. Her daughter Jordan & her family were there as well. My sister said that they really appreciated the opportunity to get a chance to visit with them a little.
It is tradition with the my family for my teens to join the youth group at our church for breakfast Thanksgiving morning. Afterward, they head on to do ministry outreach of some sort. This year they went to a nearby nursing home to put on a service & to sing for them, as well to visit with them.
Friday night, Dad & Ginnie stayed with us. Jacque was able to join us for dinner. Early Saturday they were on their way to Ginnie's daughter, Mary's place in Columbus, OH. Before they left, we enjoyed the cinnamon rolls I made for breakfast.
As you have read in the previous post, Carissa's grandmother passed away early Sat. morning. Dave & Carissa decided to come on back to celebrate Thanksgiving with us. Scott's mother & her friend Jack, as well as Jacque, joined us for our feast. Here are the pictures from that day.
This was the Thanksgiving table.
Before we eat, we always go around the table & tell
what we are thankful for with each person taking a turn.
After the blessings, we gathered in the kitchen to get our food buffet style. It was too much food for the table. As everyone else was doing that, Dave made his choice to have dessert 1st!
How blessed were to have so much food! We enjoyed bantering back & forth.
God has truly blessed us not only for the food but with a great family! He has blessed us with 2 more family members & safe travels, especially this year. What a privilege to live at a time like this!

Then of course there was dessert! We waited awhile for some of that. Scott made pecan pies , I made apple pies, & my sister made the pumpkin pies. They were sure good later with a nice cup of coffee.
