Thanksgiving 2013

Katie Britt and I missed Thanksgiving at Mimi's because she had a virus last weekend, but we made up for it today eating, and eating, and eating!!!  Mama cooks lunch for us every Sunday, but today was different because I got to eat on her real china and use sterling silver.  The food was delicious, the time was great, and we even started decorating her tree!  I'm thankful that Daddy is well this year, that my mama can still cook up some good food, and we were all there to share this special meal.  Thanksgiving 2013 is in the books.... three or four pounds fatter...and many memories shared at the table!

 This is the men's table... they have to be able to see the television...
