THANKSGIVING 09

I remembered the camera but forgot to get pictures. These are the ones I managed to take. The Company, Conversation and Food were so good I'm sure you you can understand....

Nick, brought out his Rock Band that we all enjoyed playing. I think the adults were doing most the playing and not letting the kids get on. We were supposed to have a battle of the bands (Matt Guitar, Tiffany Bass, Nick Drums and Tab Vocals) against (Brent Guitar, Mary Drums, Rob Vocals and Myself Bass) However Matt's Band (we will call it) "had to leave for their second Thanksgiving".... So I declared Victory for our band due to forfeit. Not the most satisfying way to win, but a win! This was the most fun I have had in a long time. It was fun to finally be able to pay a video game with my brothers.

Matt's Band Practicing... They were good too.

Dinner was at 12:30 we all pretty much came a few hours early to help get things ready and practice rock band. The kids were ready to eat but there was still an hour to go. They were getting themselves seated at the "kids table" . It smelled so good no one could blame them. They did manage to take care of the relish plates, well at least the Pickles and Olives.


My Dad getting the Slice/Cranberry drink ready...


After dinner conversation. I still think we cleaned up the dishes too soon. I guess better than waiting too long and not wanting to do it..... Note all the plates not a scrap of food to be found.


Grandma J and Dad, after the wonderful meal. It was so nice to have Grandma with us for Thanksgiving. Our Johnsen side has just gotten too big and this was the first year our family had separate dinners.


No pictures of all the pies my Mom made or all the delicious food. Probably for the best! What a wonderful day. I have so many blessings to be thankful for each day and my Family is just one of many!
