Thanksgiving and Family Pictures

We ate our big thanksgiving meal for lunch. Everything turned out to perfection -- delicious moist turkey, candied yams, corn, carrots, mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls, pretzel jello.  I absolutely love the combination of different flavors and textures.  Of course there is plenty of noise with the kids: whining, bickering, and teasing which makes for an impatient and stressed out mom.  But there was ample time to relax and enjoy each others company too.  We haven't had any family pictures taken since last Thanksgiving and so I had everyone put on their church clothes (amidst murmuring from the boys) and had my dad take some pictures.  It is difficult to get everyone looking good at the same time but we got a few that turned out pretty cute!
