Thanksgiving 2008

Beau got to spend his first Thanksgiving with his Pappy & DiDi. We had a HUGE lunch at Uncle Tommy & Aunt Brenda's house. Let me tell you there was FOOD FOR DAYS! I think they invited half the county. There were more family and friends there than ya'll could shake a stick at.............seriously! I should have taken a picture but there were about 50lbs of every casserole you could imagine plus ham, turkey, and more dessert than any one person should be allowed to choose from..............unless you are at some huge casino buffet.... or something. Believe it or not we all could have gone back for thirds and there still probably would have been leftovers. They usually have one of those "all day singing with dinner on the grounds" Thanksgivings and people come all day and again for dinner to eat, shoot guns, ride Polaris, enjoy family and just be together and be thankful. It was a really fun time and Beau had a lot of fun even though he didn't get that Turkey bone to teeth on that Sterling kept promising nor did he get to ride any ATV's or shoot any guns.
Here is Beau prior to heading to the feast with his Pappy.

Beau did get to participate in one time honored tradition and that is the Thanksgiving Table Cloth Of All Thankfulness. Each year those in attendance get to forever etch the things they are most thankful for on fine linen & lace with a selection of variously colored permanent markers. Beau added a hand print. His Uncle Justin has been known to be thankful for a wide variety of things most importantly "not seeing Uncle Myron naked..." Here is Beau's hand print. I guess you can tell he was the picture of stillness as his hand was traced on the Table Cloth O'Thankfulness.

We had a really good time! Shout outs to all those who brought food it was very, very tasty!
