We had a fun filled Thanksgiving. We had the missionaries over and they livened things up and really entertained the children. They began arriving around noon and raked our leaves. This was a huge chore that although they spent almost 3 hours and got almost 40 bags was not finished. I am sooooooo grateful for their help. While raking they also kept our children entertained and helping which allowed us to finish dinner preparations. We had a wonderful meal. Kyle made the meats, turkey and ham. We had cranberry jello, and pear jello, green beans, shredded carrots, cooked cabbage, rolls, banana pumpkin bread, stuffing. Delicious!!!
Wendy read her library book to the missionaries. They were a great audience and she was super excited to be able to read.
After dinner we all added to our Thankful Turkey, played the nickle game (Eric won the pot). We then had pie. The choices were, pecan, strawberry, mincemeat, banana cream, and peaches 'n cream cheesecake. Tasty!

Fun with the missionaries and you must have a lot of trees. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI suspect Wendy was in 7th Heaven reading to a whole audience of adults who were focused just one her. Aren't young missionaries great? We love them here too.
