Thanksgiving 2011

This year we had so much to be thankful for! God had proved His sovereignty and faithfulness beyond the shadow of a doubt, we can say with Job, 

"I know that my Redeemer lives,

and that in the end he will stand upon the earth.

And after my skin has been destroyed,

yet in my flesh I will see God;

I myself will see him

with my own eyes—I, and not another.

How my heart yearns within me!" 

~Job 19:25-27~

and that's always something to be immensely thankful for! :)

~Thanksgiving Preparation~

Momma and Hannah cleaning out the turkey

Chariti's hollowing out the mushrooms to make stuffed mushrooms

Sethyboy is peeling garlic, this is the makings of a real Portuguese dinner!

Hannah is one brave girl, she is not afraid to get her hands dirty!

Hannah's skinning the turkey

Here Seth!

Chariti was in charge of making the stuffing 

Felicity's job was the apple pie

Cooking, stirring, frying, washing, it's Thanksgiving!

Tabitha was in charge of the stuffed mushrooms

Hannah's de-stressing from prepping the turkey!

If Hannah does it so does Sethyboy! lol
 

Our beautiful hostess :)

~ Thanksgiving Day! ~

mmmmm, Portuguese prepared turkey!

Charitit's finishing off the stuffing,

"The hands are one of the most useful cooking tools in the kitchen." or so said some famous tv chef :)

Roasted turkey on a turkey platter

Stephanie's lighting the candles

Felicity,
it looks like she's lighting the candles but she's actually melting a crayon onto an envelope to make a wax seal. I remember doing that when I was little and how cool I thought it was!
I do still think it's cool...

♥ Momma and Hannah ♥

Thanksgiving lunch has come!

"Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates." ~ Proverbs 31:31

Stephanie and Tabitha


The whole family!


Felicity and Chariti tried videotaping this year!
The're going to love watching the videos they took when they get older!




Exhausted!
Looking at black Friday deals before we head over to Dad's parents house and eat more delicious Portuguese food!
