Thanksgiving

Today we had a houseful of family and it could not have been any nicer. Between Shane's family and my family we had a total of 20 people. I must say I was a bit nervous as to how we were going to fit everyone, if we would have enough food, and if all the food would be ready at the same time, but everything was great! My parents came in yesterday, and mom and I started cooking pretty much right after they got here. Mom made pies, while I worked on the cornbread dressing. We did as much preparation as we could so that today would not be as stressful.

We originally thought we would sit everyone indoors in various places, but after seeing what a beautiful day it was, Shane suggested we put all the tables together and sit in the garage. That turned out to be a fabulous idea. We had a long table with 16 places, and then a kids table with 4 places. The food was great, we had plenty and it was all ready at the appropriate time.

It was great seeing some of Shane's family that we had not seen in awhile. It was definitely a long trip for them and we were very glad to have them celebrate Thanksgiving here in Texas with us.
