A Stratford Thanksgiving...

What makes a PERFECT THANKSGIVING??

How about a GREAT FAMILY, with a few cute faces...

(sorry I didn't capture everyone's cute face)

We were all so happy that GRANDPA STRATFORD could join us this year.

LOTS OF LOVE....

a few FESTIVE DECORATIONS...

an AMAZINGLY SET TABLE...

...with a few special touches by mom...

...SOME HOLIDAY ART WORK...

...GOTTA HAVE THE TURKEY...

...and a SCRUMPTIOUS DINNER complete with turkey, gravy, stuffing, potatoes (mom), green bean casserole (Kenzie), homemade rolls, (Brittany, Melanie, Kenzie, grandma Waite), Jello ( Melanie), and yams with marshmellows (Deanne).

( I hope I got that all correct- change it if its not)

So what does one do after a meal like that?
JUST LOUNGE AROUND... SLEEP....

...or how about build a COZY FORT ON THE STAIR LANDING...
...GRANDMA THOUGHT IT WAS CHRISTMAS AND GAVE EVERYONE PRESENTS...

She gave the "grown-ups" some fun Christmas ornaments in the cutest box and gave all the grandkids the cutest matching (by family) pajamas. Mav and Slater got green, Madi and Kevi got red and Tracen, Tyler, and Tate got blue.

T3 was so excited about their PJ's they wore them that very night.

And then.... it was time for...

PIE!

Apple (Brittany), Pecan and Marion Berry (Deanne), Pumpkin (grandma Waite)

and Banana Cream (Melanie)

SO INCREDIBLY YUMMY!!!

BIG THANK YOU goes out to MOM for planning such a wonderful THANKSGIVING!

We are also so grateful to have a wonderful cabin available for all the family to gather!

It is always so wonderful to be with our family!

THANK YOU!
