Thanksgiving

Our friends the Claytons hosted Thanksgiving this year. We gathered on the Saturday after the actual event to eat turkey with all of the trimmings. Finding all of the ingredients can be challenging, but we find ways to get what we need. The local grocery store is beginning to catch on to the needs of their American population. They had turkeys available much earlier than usual, and you could even find fresh cranberries. If we could just convince them how important canned pumpkin is to our diet!

The Creators
Perhaps there was a bit of help from their husbands, but naturally we prepared most of the food. Even more significant. . . five out of six of these women are expecting babies this Spring and Summer! Aimee (the second from the right) is exempt. Only because she has a six month old. Only three of us had announced our upcoming births. The other two were in the throws of a yucky first trimester. Suffering in silence. I'm the only one who looks pregnant-even though Sarah (third from the right) is only three weeks behind me. What?
The Fare
Delicious.
The Children
Two tables were prepared to fit all of the youngsters. Fifteen in all.


Thanks for hosting Claytons!

you look GREAT Suzy! Just remember people like Sarah have long torsos and like to endure crazy sports (running) right before they push the baby out! You're ALL good!!

A turkey day to remember! You look amazing - who wants to be preganant and not look it? Then you just look chubby. Right?
