Thanksgiving Day

I hope you all had an awesome Thanksgiving! We sure did. =) Here are some pictures from our celebration. I think I managed to post a shot of everyone except Dad... but I'm sure he wont mind, since I'm mentioning him in the first post anyway. :D

So without further ado... (Why does everyone always say "without further ado"? What if I want to make "further ado"!? Is it illegal or something?)... ANYWAY... here are the pictures!

Okay, almost good, but Abby needs to open her eyes a bit wider....

Uh, huh. Now Sarah needs to open her eyes a bit wider...

Good!!

Mom's butter art. If you can't read it, you need glasses. AHEM! What I meant to say was... it says "Thanks."

Yum...

In which one sister give me due attention and the other does not.

Mom and Sarah.

Someone please tell me how no matter much you worry about your pecan pie... no matter how often you check on it... no matter how much you hope and pray it will turn out all right... it never ever ever comes out looking like those gourmet creations in Martha Stewart and Country Living?!
(even if you use the same recipe!!)

And of course, the classic must-have... pumpkin pie!!
☺
And that's all, peoples! I hope you had an enjoyable, blessed Thanksgiving Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope you all have an excellent day of enjoying good food, spending time with friends and family, and remembering all that God has done for you!!! =)

Blessings,

the P family

14 Days of Thankfulness

In celebration of Thanksgiving this year, the author of "Untraveled Path" is hosting a blogging challenge on Thankfulness. This year I'm too busy to do all fourteen days... but I may join in the challenge in about a week. You can read all about it here. It's simply this - one post every 14 days (or so) on what you are grateful for! (read the official guidelines on her blog). Even though this started two days ago, she says you are welcome to join in. I hope you have a great time!

"Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!"
Pslam 31:19, kjv

Memory Loss

This is a real funny clip of Barney Fife "remembering" the preamble to the Constitution. Just in case you need a laugh!!

So Random

Well, hello to all of you! I know it's been a long while since I've posted anything about our doings here at home. But here are some of the latest pictures... some are three weeks old, some from yesterday. You'll figure it out... they go in chronological order. So enjoy... have a great day... see you later!

The sunlight through these cornstalks was absolutely breathtaking. I managed to capture something about the mood... but you can't really get the whole effect unless you see it "live." =)

Abby and I did a photoshoot in the leaves... check out my blog for more shots from that day.

Ecstasy!!!

Aren't these colors amazing?!

They're so beautiful.

Shay (And His Reflection)

Our adorable little cat, Shay, was in the house yesterday, when he spotted his reflection in a mirror Sarah and I got for our room. We had yet to put it on the wall, so it was sitting propped up on the closet door. Having never seen his reflection before, Shay stopped to investigate...

"Well, do you know what that is?"

"I can't smell anything..."

Finally deciding that he "smelled a rat," he looked behind the mirror. Upon discovering that his reflection buddy was only one-dimensional, he left off his friend-making.
