Happy Thanksgiving!!

And what a Happy Thanksgiving it was and it was filled with many thanks and so many blessings!!! The week started off a little rough with Jackson being so sick with conjunctivitis then an ear infection then a sinus infection then of course it went into his asthma and would you believe the poor little guy is still on antibiotics but he's hopefully on the mend thank goodness!!!!  But I have to say he kept up with the festivities and was a real trooper!!!

We kicked off the Thanksgiving festivities with mom, Karlyn and I having our annual cooking fest all day Wednesday to prepare for Thursday!!  We always have a great time catching up and making our favorite dishes!!!  Then came our annual pizza night hosted by the Kincaids and it was so lovely with delicious pizza and amazing desserts!!  Thank you Kincaids for the fabulous time!! 

Then came Thanksgiving and all of its fun!!  We had 33 people this year for the big feast!!!  I always find it so special that our family comes from all over the country to be together for Thanksgiving!!  And although a few of our relatives couldn't make it this year we were blessed to have a few new significant others accompany my cousins!!!  It was so nice meeting them and getting to know them and we hope they will join us again!!!!  The men fryed the 3 turkeys and the girls made sure all the sides were cooked and ready to be served on time!!  It was a delicious dinner as always and we shared it with amazing people!!!  

Then Saturday we watched our Gators beat the Seminoles in a great game!!!  Go Gators!!!!  Now let the Holiday season officially begin!!!!!  Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!
