Thanksgiving

Some of the girls helping prepare

Thanksgiving dinner.

"Cheese" before dinner.

4 of the 5 Ford girls - Keri came down

the day after Thanksgiving.

Okay, now they are just having too much fun

making that green bean casserole...

Ta da! Krissie, Melinda and Mandy with

grandma Ford's "Dixie Salad" or

"Pine View Salad" as Terry calls it.

Mandy is pro at peeling pomegranates!

Enjoying our delicious dinner...

We weren't mature enough to sit at the big table.

The day after T-day, we hit the range...

Then we had a little pizza.

You can only take so much turkey, you know?

It's so fun to be with all the cousins!

Here's our snaggle-toothed boys Aidan and Mason.

Ford Family.

My uncle Ben passed away Thanksgiving night

surrounded by all his family - what a blessing!

So, everyone came back the next week for his funeral

in St. George. It was a very nice funeral and it was nice

to see everyone. Uncle Ben was a great man and lived

a good life. He will be sorely missed.

All the brother-in-laws.

Terry, Tracy, Richard, Arden, and Geoff.

Guys and Dolls.

The very best part of the day was our big

hug before we all had to head back home.

We aren't able to get together all that often, so

our big sister hug meant a lot!

I love my sisters so much and I'm so thankful to call

such wonderful, beautiful, talented, loving women mine!
