Happy Thanksgiving!




We celebrated four wonderful Thanksgivings this year. Unfortunately I only got pictures at the last two because my camera was in the shop being repaired.
The first big feast was the Sunday before Thanksgiving at my brothers house. We had fun visiting and enjoying our mexican food. My sister in law made mexican manicotti and boy was it delicious!!
Our second Thanksgiving was at my cousin Ben's house on the actual day. We had the traditional dinner with all kinds of delicious sides. Maysie had fun playing with her cousins.
The third one was held at Wally and Sandy's, the kids had fun playing outside until it got dark. There were almost as many puppy cousins at the party as there were children! They had a blast running a muck! I made a cute pumpkin bundt cake, it turned out rather well. The boys and Maysie Started a little Red Neck band in the kitchen after dinner with a banjo, a ukulele, a washboard, a strange instrument made out of a shovel handle a string and a galvanized wash tub( played very well by Mark) and Maysie with her wooden spoon:)
Our last Thanksgiving was again at Wally and Sandy's with Grandad and GoGo. We enjoyed visiting with them and eating lots of food again! After all that eating it's a wonder I still fit into my jeans, good thing they're stretch jeans:)

  1. The cake was soooo delicious, and cute too! Thanksgiving with the Jukes family is always crazy, especially with all the puppy cousins now! Oh, and the strange instrument is a washtub bass that Dad made!
