A Good Time Was Had By All


As you can tell we had a very delicious meal. Everything was set just perfectly on the tables. We all got along and liked who we were sitting by. hahaha..







Brayden and his second cousins found the "boy stuff" to play with. It kept them busy while we got dinner ready.


Daxton of course found the cowboy getup to play with. He loves Thanksgiving!!



Makinley and Gentry having their own tea party before we ate dinner.




Troy played the traditional morning football game when the ground was still frozen this morning. As you can tell he got pretty hammered from the frozen ground.





Gentry loves Thanksgiving. Kristi is feeling pretty satisfied with the big meal too. Yummy ..






Kori and Troy feeling stuffed after their big dinner. Troy went back for seconds even. And then there's Elaine who's trying to take pictures for her blog too. She's in the background of all my pictures taking her pictures..hahaha







And here's Morris. He couldn't get enough of my yummy yams either. hahaha.








Elaine of course was the last one at the table. She just couldn't get enough of my yummy yams..hahaha









This is your typical after turkey dinner activity. The guys have to watch football. Jared, Ron and Rog have the pick of the seats. No dish washing for them. Just waiting to be served their pie.










Aunt Lola is one of Shanas favorite people. Lola ate more than I've ever seen her eat before. J/K











Kristi is looking to see if there is an item of food that she missed out on. Morris is asking Makinley if she is going to innoculate her children before the age of 3 and Makinley said "no".












Here is Ron, the master turkey carver. As you can tell he takes this job very seriously.













As you can tell everyone is as happy as can be with their big plates of food in front of their faces. I think this is the longest Thanksgiving table I have ever seen. We were so fortunate to have the Listons welcome us into their home. They worked so hard to make everything so perfect and it was. What a fun family we have and I love and adore each one. This is another happy memory for me and my family. It was so nice to have us all together. Thanks Listons for having us all over!!

Yes! It was a wonderful time had by all! I loved it!! I love everyone there so much, I wish ALL of the Pynes could have a Thanksgiving together! That would be awesome. Oh and you mentioned that the guys were not doing dishes... Just so ya know... Ron dried ALL the dishes and put em away! So just in Rons defense... :) I am grateful that the Listons were able to have us over too! Everyone had a good time.

Seeing all your pictures makes me feel like we were there! Looks like there was enough food for everyone, and everyone had a great time! I love that long table! It's kind of like the one in Windsor Castle that seats 140 people that I saw on a PBS show. Very elegant!
