Here is a photographic tour of our Thanksgiving here in Allegany County, with Laura, Andrew, Lucy and Phoebe.
We arrived in Frostburg last night after a LONG drive in lots of traffic. It was all good though. We got here safe and sound and the boys started in playing with Lucy as soon as they walked in the door. They LOVE their nieces.
We got going early the morning so that we could get to Mass. It was such a nice Mass and Lucy was such a good girl!
The boys were dying to get out in the snow so they put on their snow clothes and went out to have a snowball fight.
Andrew put on his snowpants and he and Tim took them all up to the park to play in the snow. They ended up building a HUGE snowman and Andrew took some great pictures.
Laura and I stayed here and worked on dinner. Lucy went down for a nap, and she wasn't really ready to wake up when she got up, so she took a nap in the sling while Laura cooked.
Then while when Andrew got back she slept some more...
The turkey was roasting away in the roaster, and we made the Mashed potatoes, Sweet potatoes, Green bean casserole, Rolls, Jello, and more...
Lucy was a great help...she loved the appetizers!
we put dinner on the table and it was a lovely spread, especially with the Franciscanware that Grandma Maggie used to use.
Andrew had a hand in carving the turkey, but we took the knives away from him....
The meal was a success and even the boys liked some of it. They did eat most of it though.
Lucy knew where HER dinner was!
After dinner the kids all piled onto the couch to enjoy some downtime. Lucy was so happy with her uncles...
Stay tuned for the next chapter....Cookie Bake '08
