First Snow











Thanksgiving

I finally found the cord for my camera, so I could upload some recent pictures. Here are some from Thanksgiving. We had about 27 here for lunch--a small crowd by Allen standards--but we still had a wonderful afternoon.



Dan carving the turkey as the hungry onlookers wait.



Food, food, and more food. I made a twenty pound turkey, a ten pound ham, fifteen pounds of mashed potatoes, corn casserole, green beans, four dozen rolls and persimmon pudding. Plus GG's noodles, and lots and lots of other wonderful dishes. No one left hungry!


The kid table. No grown ups allowed.





Mackenzie and her twin/fave cousin, Kyrie took their plates to eat in front of the fireplace.



This year, as every year, we have so much to be thankful for: the love of family and friends, health, prosperity, Michael home safely, the hope of a new little Krabel baby this spring... the list goes on and on. Most of all, I am so incredibly and humbly thankful for my Savior. Without His sacrifice, everything else would be nothing.
