Thanksgiving 2009

We enjoyed a scrumptious Thanksgiving dinner with turkey, sweet potato souffle, fresh green beans, dressing, cranberries, potatoes, gravy, berry salad, Lion House rolls, garden salad, Martinelli sparkling cider, and pies.Here we are serving dinner. l to r: Allan, Trevor, Susan, Ann

We ate on the patio. It was 83 degrees. I bought small pumpkins and covered them with glitter for centerpieces. They glistened in the sunlight.

Mary Ann made Unity Pie for dessert as well as pumpkin pie and cheesecake.

She cut the shapes of little people out of the crust, as pictured, and put them on top of the pie.

These are the cheesecakes she made with pie filling for topping.

The kids had crafts of turkeys with feathers and turkey headbands inside.

Allan going outside to eat on the patio.

Notice his biceps. He goes to a Crav Maga, a martial arts class, and climbs at the rock gym a few times a week.

After dinner the boys set up a target in the side yard for a "turkey shoot" with their airsoft guns. They had a great time. Even I tried it! I hit the target in the center!

Here are the boys posing with the airsoft guns.
