"Homemade" Present

Here is my present from Scott and the kids. Scott made the frame, isn't it beautiful? Then he and the kids picked out their picture they wanted in it. I love it!

Our Thanksmas Day :o)

So here's the place that Santa visits early. He pops in for some Thanksgiving dinner before he goes back to the North Pole to get ready for the rest of the world! Some of his elves left their pants, tho!
Hee Hee Hee

My elf helpers were very busy all dang day! And yes, that IS a present hanging on the wall! It took me a while to notice, lol.
Yummy munchies before dinner - deviled eggs, peppers/olives/celery/pepperincinis/green olives/carrots/pickled okra/and little peppers, old lady heads and triscuits with Parmesan/spinach/artichoke dip melted on top :o)
Helpers putting the glaze on the ham...
and the small turkey and dressing ready to be browned in the oven.
Ed, the helper, was ready to just jump right in and carve the meat!
And the table was beautiful!
(pictures of us eating and family pictures to come later...)

After we stuffed our tummies with the traditional Thanksgiving feast, we started opening presents...with our festive headpieces, lol.

and opening and opening and opening!

And things were lookin' pretty good!
Then we brought out the big surprise! Scott did a beautiful job making the kids oak headboards! I received a wonderful present homemade from Scott and the kids too, and I'll post that later!
But for now, we'll just watch a little Charlie Brown Thanksgiving!

Tomorrow is ThanksMas/Christgiving...

Either way, we're ready for the giant feast and Santa and everything!

It's been fun spending extra time with my daughters, Megan and Michelle. We planned, prepared etc.
Tomorrow we just need to clean and cook!
But right now, I see there are some pretty dang cute critters hanging out, waiting for Ed and Cathy to get here!

Have a wonderful day tomorrow! I know you all will be having a fine feast. I wished I could be with my sisters Jolene and Rubye but I am eternally grateful for my family.

Peace
