Happy Thanksgiving!

As we do every year, we packed up (road trip for me, AGAIN) and headed to Sasha's for Thanksgiving.  We come on Tuesday so I can help Sasha cook all day Wednesday.  We have a lot of fun in the kitchen.

This year we had an additional guest -

Uncle Jack!!

Uncle Jack is my mom's (and Sasha's) oldest brother.  He's the oldest of all eight of them.  He lives in Illinois and for me, it seems lately, I only see him for funerals.  Not cool.  It's good to have him here for Thanksgiving.

Homemade noodles are a family tradition for us.  The recipe is passed down from my Great Grandma West and is a definite favorite!

 

Anne always "helps" by playing in the flour.

Anne & Sasha

 LOVE this - this is the first time they have met.

Every year my kids bring their bathing suit and BEG to swim.  We've already had MUCH cooler weather here in Florida for this time of year.  The pool temp was 66 - their swim time lasted MAYBE 10 minutes.

COLD!!!!

Anne also helps every year with the apple pies.  She loves to help to peel and core them.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!

Post turkey coma......

So many things to be thankful for  -  not just today -  but everyday!!!  God has blessed us beyond measure.  Looking forward to 2013 - it's gonna be awesome!!!!!

Until next time......
