Thanksgiving Sunday Dinner

We were lucky; we had all Thanksgiving weekend to look forward to a second Thanksgiving dinner, on Sunday with Scott's family.  We knew it would be perfect and wonderful, and we could hardly wait!  The food, the company and the ambiance were, indeed, perfect.  I honestly don't know how Bruce and Marlene do what they do, and serve a full-time mission at the same time!  You know, Marlene has a frozen shoulder, a torn meniscus and uterine cancer.  None of it slows her down.  She is unbelievable, really.  Part of her secret is that she has Bruce to back her up.  Together, the two of them are superhuman.  We love them so much!

 Gearing up for the big Thanksgiving Sunday :)
 So excited for the food!
 I'm so proud of these darlings.
 Tziporah was beside herself with glee when Scott finally took her outside to jump on the trampoline.
 Bruce and Ryan





 Almost all the cousins, minus the 4 in Arizona.  Grandpa gathered them all together and told them how much he and Grandma love them.  Here's the video.  It was a really special moment.




 The boys set us the tree.  Ari likes to help Grandma with the gravy.  She claims it's her "job" every year. :)

Anyone that wants to help with gravy is a special soul. What a beautiful bunch!

Dont you love having the holidays spread out? Looks like you had a great Thanksgiving day weekend. The m&m's and fire look wonderful.

It is so fun to keep the holiday going, such a let down when it is over in one day, but you had more to look forward to and it looks like Marlene and Bruce put on quite a Thanksgiving. Special picture of all of cousins. Gravy is hard to do! Glad Ari wants that job..so glad you had a fun second Thanksgiving. xo Tricia
