the older i get, the more i love thanksgiving. what a special holiday, just a time to be together with those you are thankful for, wow, what a concept! haha. we got to have several thanksgiving meals with special people in our lives. the first was at our church on sunday, the whole crew of us have a thanksgiving service and meal. we sat with our sunday school class and shared a fun evening.
next was our friends-giving, which we hosted here at our house with our newly formed supper club. OH-SO-FUN. who knew i had so many friends that are such great cooks?!?! it was amazing and all of our kids had a blast, too.
the next morning we headed northbound for tulsa to spend the next few days with my family. i LOVE, LOVE, LOVE getting the whole crew of us together. even when we do nothing, i just love getting to really spend time with each and every one of them. we had our traditional link family turkey bowl, my favorite tradition, thursday morning. you see there is a reason i am a football fanatic. i was raised by football fanatics! we had so much fun and quite the workout to prepare us for our big meal. if you have never experienced a lavon link turkey dinner, you are missing out, because OH MY GOSH, can that woman cook! my sisters-in-law and i help a lot, but if we are honest, we know my mom does it all! amazing.
okay, i'll let my pics do the rest of the "talking"...

my brothers transporting hot food in the bob stroller. this is seriously hilarious to me.
can anyone guess when this was taken? approximately three hours after turkey bowl and approximately ten minutes after turkey consumption. cowboy game relax time!
