Madi spent all afternoon getting ready for liz to come and spend the night. She tied table clothes around the chairs in a festive cover places on set on the table with a vase of roses candles and candle sticks, good dishes and silver and fine wine goblets. Then she got dressed up in some of grandma's clothes shoes and jewelry. She got an outfit ready for Liz for when she arrived. One fun day.

Family Portrait
What a job, I tried to set everything up in advance but there is really not enough room. I was the cook also and that seemed to take top priority. I love this phot because it is soooooo them, one tired mommy and two wiggly kids that need attention. No formal shots for them.

The Helpers
That is a lot of shredded bread to make stuffing with tomorrow. We had a nice dinner here with all the family together. There were 20 adults and 9 kids. We polished off a 20.5 lb turkey, 10 lbs. mashed potatoes, 2 huge pots of candied yams, gravy, stuffing, salad, assorted chips and hors'd overes, umpteen rolls and breads, pumpkin pie, pumpkin squares, Brussel sprouts, 16 twice baked potatoes. Did I forget anything? It is the American way to gorge yourself on Thanksgiving. We did our job!

Mad
Conner is soooooo mad at Grandma. Besides getting scoulded, Grandma has the nerve to take his photo while he is mad and hiding. Shame on you Gandma!

Grandma's Speaker
Grandma's constant companion for as long as I can remember while she watched television. She was hard of hearing from the time she was in her early 30's. What a wonderful find up in Art's attic.
