So I was on call this past Thanksgiving which did not allow me to be with my family. So I was bummed. BUT my other family, the Mills, welcomed me to their Thanksgiving. This was my favorite Thankgiving thus far. We all helped out with cooking, as you can see the feast below...
Then we all sat together and ate...WONDERFUL food. And we had a few grammar revelations. You know how people say "That's a whole nother story..." well have you ever realized that "nother" is not a word. Yeh, I didn't either I had never thought about it!!?? We also played musical glasses!!
The happy family (above)
After a long nap we headed over to the Garcia's for desert and games! We had a great time and loved playing Mad Gab with these people. You can see me, Kelly and Brittany in tears over in the corner! Even though I was not able to be with my real family this year, it made me much more thankful for the church family that I do have. I have known the Mills for 15 years now and every year I feel more attatched and more thankful for their presence in my life. They welcome anyone and everyone in to their homes. God has blessed me so much this year. I really can't wait to start 2010!!!
OH....in case you were wondering, I did NOT get called in at all on Thanksgiving day. YES.
This post makes me happy! Lots of my favorite people in that family picture. :) And yes, I have thought about the fact that "nother" isn't a word...I used to try to think of something else to say instead and then just gave up and continued to use it anyway.
