Thanksgiving 2012

 What would Thanksgiving be without some homemade costumes from Avery?  Followed by a parade through the neighborhood?  They were a little short on characters because Kate decided she didn't want to wear the turkey hat, but it was still a great parade. 
We had Thanksgiving Dinner at our house for the first time this year.  With over 40 people, we figured there would be a little more breathing room than at John's mom's house.  It turned out great.  I ALMOST ruined the turkey, but there was a Thanksgiving miracle.  The kids all disappeared into the basketball court and nothing got broken.  The women sat around chatting and resting after a long day of cooking.  And we finished it off with a game of baseball in the court with all the adults.  We love living close to so much family and enjoy all of the holidays that bring us together for good food and lots of laughs.
