All right! Time to get this show on the road!  Darren is the head chef in the kitchen.  As long as he's in charge everything is delicious and on time.

Having fun cooking in the kitchen.

Look at that mountain of mashed potatoes!  We are so blessed!

I love making home made pies!  I carry on my mom's tradition of making the pies the day before Thanksgiving.  Sometimes they don't last till Thanksgiving.

The true sign of a good time!!

More than anything this Thanksgiving, I was thankful to be with my family, and with David's family.  It was AMAZING to have Darren around for the week. It was double amazing to have David and Marilyn be here during his break.   I love my brothers and sisters so much.  It was so good to be with family for a holiday.  Thanks David, Marilyn and kids for driving so long to come visit us!
