Thanksgiving Thursday!

On Thanksgiving Day, we had so much company it was unbelievable.  

 

The King of Spain visited. 

And Priscilla Mullins

And a turkey (which kept bumping into me and smiling)

And this sweet pumpkin came to spend the day.  (we didn't serve pumpkin pie!)

This was a very nice pilgrim couple who came and helped serve the meal.

And these two Indians were twins.  Isn't that amazing?

A Waiting House...

We're decorating with soup beans and peas this year.  

Emily helped all the little ones make Apple Turkeys.
(Michael just walked by looking for his wattle!)

The "little" table for the short ones. 

Kate smells the turkey.  She's been like this for an hour.  

The parent's table (for the intelligent conversation)

Emily's writing the names on cups

Which Michael?  We have 3 coming!!!

A stack of cups - ready for company!

Plastic plates and plastic fruit for the kid table. 

Erin got to write "Welcome"

I (Jessica) got to write "War Eagle" 

Beautiful glass on the parent's table.
(no other table gets glass!)

The ongoing theme of beans and peas - now in the tea candles

Big "To Do" list.  Some of us volunteered, so of us were "voluntold"

Since taking this picture, I have done the back sidewalk.  It is now crossed off.  :-)

Off to clean my bedroom for company.

The Happy Couple and Their #1 Fan

 Michael was thrilled that two of his favorite people are engaged to be married!!!  So, he printed off their photo, colored it, and hung it above his bed.

Ms. Haley has some VERY pink cheeks, and it seems that Graham may be growing a red beard.  ;-)

Hey... Guess What????

Yes, I was enjoying the break of no more movies.  Oh well!  ;-)  

A utility kitchen, some uniforms, some good friends, too much giggling, some pumpkins, a code book, an HD camera, a tripod, a car, 4 barstools, and some coffee.  Sweetnesses!  

The title?  Exact Change

We're going for James Bond meets a day at the coffee shop.  Yeah... it'll be crazy!

 My "set designers"

 Rachel is the cutest actress.  Her little uniform was darling.  She was tired, she had a cold, she had been taking a nap.  But she pulled through and stole the show.

Can You Believe That it Is November?????

I can't!!!  More blog posts in November... I promise.  ;-)

Sunny Sweet Smiles

So, for the month of October I want to post almost every day.  Ahem.  It's the 3rd, and here's my first post!  Oh well!  :-)

Dad packed up with the little ones a few weeks back and took them camping with him.  Before the bug bites happened, they had so much fun.
