Thanksgiving at Daddy's House

David, meet a turkey. Turkey, meet David.


David has his first Thanksgiving day at his father's house. It was a very good time, with Grammy and Grampy getting to enjoy a day with their two sons, two daughters-in-law, and three grandchildren. Let's introduce the players...

Fathereuph, you have outdone yourself! It was so wonderful to have you all here with us for Thanksgiving. We loved every minute of it, but it went by much too quickly. Now we will look forward to pictures from Mom's family.

Thanks for driving so far with your little turkey bird to make our Thanksgiving WONDERFUL! Grampy said it best when he said grace, praying in thanks that there is one more person at our table this year to make us thankful!
