Thanksgiving, 2012 Style

This is how some of the boys spent the time waiting for the feast.

Max, Alex, Josh

 Our Thanksgiving this year was hosted by Krista and Justin. They are wonderful to share food and home, along with so much work involved in doing it.

Sisters, Olivia and Ashlie

 Krista was so busy hosting, it looks like our pics of her are slim pickings.

Ashlie and I (though I hate this pic of myself)

 I contributed rolls which showed that my baking talent has been lacking in practice.  Aubrey said I can practice twice a week and that would be OK with her.  I also brought my great grandma's Candied Sweet Potatoes and they were yummy!  It was fun to share a recipe with Grandma Lawler's great, great, great grandchildren.

 This one is priceless.  Kenlee was ready to serenade us but her dad told her no, since it was time to eat.

Before the "unveiling"- my camera battery died right after this so we don't get a photo of the "real thing"- maybe Nat or Aubrey got one.  Jon and Heather came for dessert.

Below are the pics Jon shared

They love to  help with the lighting

After Rob spent the day laying carpet squares in my basement, the work and turkey tryptophan did the number on him.
