The First Thanksgiving!

... for THIS Horstmann family... 

 

I thought of this big huge plan... But then got busy with everything... So we just had a small Thanksgiving with Phil and the boys.  Sorry y'all... the thought was there.

 

The fine china came out...

INCLUDING fine cups. 😊

Instead of a huge turkey... I went to Hyvee and got turkey breasts.  I think the boys wanted an actually turkey, but... oh well.  😊  We had turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, and crescent rolls.

 

Quite a nice spread...

We asked the boys what they were Thankful for and this is what they said:

• A large family.
• Dad and Jennifer.
• Jake* was thankful for dad, Jennifer, Matt, Chris, and Logan...
• NOTE:  He was not thankful for Cody.
• Dad keeping his job at Caterpillar.
• A roof over their head.

 We all enjoyed our first Thanksgiving dinner together.

 

Our helpers after dinner...

We even had two "volunteers" help clean. Ok, maybe they didn't volunteer, it was actually their first time to do dishes and we were teaching them.  But, guess what? We got done so fast and the kitchen is now SPOTLESS!

 

TA-DA!!

Wonderful, first, Thanksgiving dinner.  💓💓💓
