Thanksgiving

What a wonderful Thanksgiving we had! I have never had a Thanksgiving smaller than 20 people in my whole life. It's always just a big family affair. So this year at the Clark's it was only JayDee and Coleen, Jayson and Julianne (they're on the same holiday's as us), and me and Nate. It was sooo nice though. Just relaxing wonderful conversation, we sat at the table for about 2 1/2 hours, then relaxing and enjoying one another company.

While everyone was preparing the food, Nate was on puppy watch. However, this exact shot was taken about 7 years ago on the same couch with two different dogs. Nate loves animals. Animals love Nate. And I love that about Nate.
Coleen has beautiful china ( brought back from Vietnam with JayDee pre-marriage) and beautiful crystal as well. Her dining room was stunning dressed for 8.
However, about an hour before we ate we all came to the consensus that cherry cokes were needed. Coleen's goes to this gas station literally everyday for a cherry coke in one of their cups. They give them to her free at this point because she's such a loyal customer. JayDee was kind enough to get us all GIANT cokes for the meal. Ha it maybe was the best part!
Viola! bon appetit!
The whole day Jayson and Nate were non stop playing.... ping-pong, basketball, dogs, etc... so after dinner we all decided to play a game of HORSE or some variation, boys vs girls, then we sat and talked in the new play house. Yep... a playhouse with mini furniture.

Can I be invited to the Clark's next year?? I'd love to allow someone else to do the cooking and enjoy some stressless visiting time. J/K XOXO Mom
