Here's our Thanksgiving picture for 2009. I never noticed how much bigger my head is than Brian's before.Here's the scoop. For the first time in the 27 years we've been married, Brian had to work over Thanksgiving. :-( Very sad for both of us. So instead of staying home alone pouting and eating a bowl of cereal, our bestest friends invited me over to their big feast. My sister Patti was also a leftover misfit and came over. Thank goodness for great friends who will go through the trouble of cooking a wonderful Thanksgiving meal, just for the misfits in the neighborhood.
Kylee spent time with Brian too.
Andy was also working this year. He was actually flying home at the time this was taken. We picked him up at the airport later that night.
And of course since Andy couldn't make it, Casey spent her holiday with her family. We missed them all sooooo much!
Kylee was having a blast with this. When she sat down at the table we had to put Casey and Andy on the chair next to her.
And one last pose with Brian at the table.
How funny that you have those cut outs of them :) I am sorry your family wasn't with you, but glad that everyone is safe and sound. I think I'd use that as an excuse to make my own feast when everyone is together!!!!
ReplyDeleteLast year my husband had to work on Christmas day. I was so upset because my youngest daughter was 3 months shy of being 2, so I knew this was a very great age for her and seeing what Santa Clause had brought. So we said Santa came early the night before and still was able to have our Christmas. I was just thankful that he wasn't miles and miles away from us and that we would still get to see him that night. And yes it is great to have friends that will make you feel like part of the family.
ReplyDeleteThat is the funniest thing I've ever seen.... Oh man... I love it.
ReplyDeleteMy brother is a cop so we never seem to have Thanksgiving with him... I think I'll have to so this next year.
That is too funny. I love the faces. Felt like they didn't miss a thing. :) Glad you were able to spend it with some friends.
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious! Too bad they couldn't be there. :(
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThis is ingenious! I love it! You are really creative with the photo cut-outs.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your weird Thanksgiving, or did you call it strange? I'm glad your friends invited you over. Ours was weird, too. Obviously in England there is no Thanksgiving which means my hubby had to work. We decided to do it on Sunday which was really nice, but it's just not the same.
HA, to funny! Well, their faces is better then nothing. My hubs had to work too, so my fam. had an evening Thanksgiving so family that worked that day (can you believe that) could join in the evening. Have a good one!
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny! If he couldn't be with you in person at least he was there in picture. :-) I am sure his heart was there with you and that you brought him a yummy plate of leftovers home for him to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThank God for good friends!!!Glad you didn't have to be alone
ReplyDeleteGreat idea...cute pics :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. My husband was a Fire Fighter Emt for 24 yrs. I remember having a picture of him on his plate when the kids were small. The pictures for the little ones is a great idea when they are not presant.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had friends to spend it with.
Too cute! You made some great memories this year!
ReplyDeleteHow funny those cut outs are..you seem like a fun lighthearted family!

thanks for sharing the cute pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love those cut outs. How did you make them?
I don't like it when our whole family isn't there for holidays. We only had one of our older children come home. Our son went to his girl friend's house. Guess we have to learn to share.
