We had a great Thanksgiving. There was a whole group of us that crammed into the Rush's home. Lauree had their baby on Monday and still wanted us all to come for Thanksgiving and the weekend. What a super woman. So we had 8 kids and a newborn and 9 adults. It was a full, fun, crazy, loud house.
So we tried to kick Lauree out of her kitchen most of the time. The men actually did a lot of the cooking so we had to document that.
We had a smoked turkey, grilled turkey, ham, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, rolls, stuffed pumpkin, and stuffed mushrooms. ...And of course lots of pie.
I think Dad was bribing her with whipping cream for some reason, I can't remember.
The cousins had a lot of fun playing and it was so nice that it was such great weather. The kids went to the playground a few times, played football and played outside a lot.
Grandma also brought supplies for the kids to make gingerbread houses.
We also went to Home Depot to do their kids workshop. They had fun building their banks.
These two (Jaimee and Lars) also got engaged this weekend. We are excited for them to be married the end of December.
On our way home we decided to take a little stop and put some flowers on Dad's grave. Love and miss you so much dad...grandpa!
We are so blessed to have such a great family! I am most thankful for that...Family!
