Thanksgiving, 2009

This Thanksgiving was so much fun! We took it easy on Thanksgiving Day, and just had a nice country meal from Cracker Barrell. The kids put corn starch and water together to make a pretty slimy craft (called Ublech), and boy, did they make a mess! The next day, several of the Corley Clan from Interlachen came up, and Bart and Patti came down from Tennessee for a visit. There was SO MUCH FOOD!! Rusty, the kids, and I cooked (and cleaned up) so much food. I think we brought six different dishes to dinner and 98% of them were made from scratch! I'd have to say that the best part of this year's Thanksgiving celebration was all of us working together before dinner to make all of the grub!

After we visited with the Corleys, everyone went to Dorothy B. Oven Park to see the Christmas lights! Emmy and I came home because of a wonderful cold that we ended up spreading all over the country! Patti, Joey, and Beth ended up getting sick (sorry, guys)!
