Thanksgiving Dinner 2009

In this first picture, Mom sits next to the yummy Thanksgiving turkey. We had a dinner complete with all the trimmings: Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, hot rolls with butter, cranberries, pickles, candied yams, pumpkin pie, ice cream, and apple spice dump cake.

Debi and Gary brought Debi's 95-year old mother-in-law, Lillian Ramsey Franklin, to the celebration. Lisa and Kyleigh, Bryan, Anna, and Sammy also attended. (Notice Dad and Mom's new TV in the background and the Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy things in the corner.)

Gary dons his pilgrim hat and shirt as Kyleigh models the paper bag Native American Indian costume she made for school. (Mom made the pilgrim costume for Dad to wear on Halloween, and Gary was a good sport to put it on for the picture.)

It's not Halloween, Debi--it's Thanksgiving!

While they were at Heritage School's Halloween Carnival this past October, Debi had mentioned to Lisa that she thought it would be really cute to have a new Halloween costume for next year--Raggedy Ann and a matching Raggedy Andy costume for Gary to wear. Imagine Debi's surprise to see two new costumes sitting on the rocking chair in the corner of the living room. Mom was more than happy to comply and Debi was happy to model the costume. It even comes complete with a red wig! Thanks, Mom!
