At work they enjoyed the last 3 riddles - even though they didn't solve them.
Boys never do anything in moderation - especially eating at Thanksgiving. I can remember ever since I was nine every year being stuffed to pain, then going for two desserts.
In some of these pictures I am behind the camera but just as joyously stuffed.

This is so neat! I enjoyed the pictures of everyone looking so happy on Thanksgiving!
And this is the first time we read your blog on the Wii! The pictures look great fullscreen on our TV!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope you all had a delicious Thanksgiving! And boys may not eat in moderation, but neither do I! I had so much candied yams. They are my absolute favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner. I enjoyed the pictures of everyone :) I love that wallpaper is the same for so many Thanksgiving celebrations. I remember my Nana's old wallpaper at Thanksgivings when I was a child as well. It brought back old memories.

I really liked all the pictures!! It was cool seeing everyone at Thanksgiving in the 50's and 60's. My mother looks so different, I never really have seen what my mother looked like when she was little. L, you and G look great too :)
