Thanksgiving

Mom didn't feel right not cooking, so this is second Thanksgiving on Sunday


all of the fixings, delicious

fantastic turkey, honesty Uncle Nick's was better, he made a great turkey


This is the Lacey Holiday Craft Fair, whew crowded!



Us women folk at the craft fair, visiting Tonya's parents who make quilts and woodscroll carvings





Huddle, the most drama occured when Scott dislocated his toe



















more huddle, it was pretty funny, at least i thought it was



Yay! We spent Thanksgiving at my Uncle Nick's house. He cooked, and everyone helped. It was very good food, and very family friendly. We had a nice weekend. Scott and Rhea left for home on Friday, to get Scott's foot fixed up. Mom and I went shopping a little, at Shipwreck Beads, which was huge! JoAnne Fabrics and the Craft Fair. Tanner went with Nick and Grandpa to Cabella's. Saturday Tanner and I had a birthday party at his house. It was pretty awesome. I don't have photos though from that day. Then Sunday mom cooked again. I am such a lucky woman.
I am thankful most of all for my family. But also for so many other things.
Being thankful and grateful in everyday life is something that keeps me happy and moving forward. It is part of why I have such a global perspective. I remind myself often that I am lucky to have running water, food, family, education, and safety. Americans could all benefit from being grateful more often. But I won't get on my soapbox tonight.
Love Calli
