Our Early Thanksgiving Dinner Recap

This past Saturday was the day for our family get-together to celebrate Thanksgiving.  We as a family celebrate major holidays the weekend before so that our grown children can enjoy the holiday with out trying to be in two places at once.

The food was already ordered and I confirmed the order Saturday morning.  My daughter and her husband were picking up the food and my other son before they headed to our home.  I did some last minute cleaning, and my husband set up the borrowed tables and chairs in the backyard. ( The weather was perfect). 



 My other son and his family arrived first, and then my mom.  The food, my daughter and her family and my oldest son were pulling in the driveway.  After the food was unloaded and set up, we said a prayer of Thanksgiving and then got a line going buffet style to fix our plates.

Everyone enjoyed the meal, and despite the arrival of my oldest's son girlfriend, ( another story altogether) the get-together was a great success. After the meal and cleanup, the men played a entertaining game of horseshoes in the backyard.  The girls do play, but not this time.  We were more entertained by my grandson and it was a team effort to keep him away from the horseshoe game.

All in all, the day was a great success.  We enjoyed each other as a family, the event was practically stress free, and we are all looking forward to getting together for Christmas,,,the weekend before of course.
