Thanksgiving 2011

We had a great Thanksgiving this year! Mimi and PopPop drove from Indiana to be with us! We were so excited to see them. They even got to catch Allie & Sydney's thanksgiving program at school.

On Thanksgiving day, PopPop kept Gavin busy so we could cook :)
 

Allie worked hard to make the tables look nice. She made the napkin rings at school.


A quick look at the bird before daddy carves it! It's become a tradition for our good friends, the McWhirter's, to come over and have a thanksgiving meal with us. They have Alex (8), Noelle (5) and Megan (3)
 Allie and Alex
 the "littles" table ;)

We also made it a tradition to make paper chains each year to count down the days until Christmas! The girls love it ;)  
We found out shortly after thanksgiving, that the McWhirter's will be moving to Pennsylvania.    we are sad, but also happy for their new opportunity...and feel blessed that we could hang out and get to know them the past 4 years.
