Happy Thanksgiving!

T'was the day of thanksgiving and up on the wall

were hand printed turkeys

made by kid Leschorns all

There was turkey and stuffing

all ready to eat,

but I took some pictures

'cause Mini-Nana's smile was so sweet!

So we all gathered round her

while she was so happy

Except the two babies...

They were to busy napping

Here's a pic of our Sarah

With the very best Nana

look how pretty they are

as they smile for the cam'ra!

Papa wasn't to thrilled

with the paparazzi

So we just snapped the picture

and hollered "Let's Eat!"

The entertainment began!

The audience silenced,

as I told a story

with minimal violence.
It began with the pilgrims,

long ago in England
that came to America

in hopes of making some friends!

(couldn't find a way to rhyme freedom of religion!)

They had found them a Mayflower

to sail or'e the ocean.

Then a big heavy storm came

And caused lots of commotion!
One hundred and two folks

were on that big ship.

They hoped and they prayed

that it wouldn't tip.

There was more to the story

'bout the Indians and all,

but we didn't get pictures

so it's hard to recall.

When the Puppet Show ended

All the kids took a bow

Then because we were tired

we just hung out for a while.

When Maggie woke up

she wasn't too chipper,

But Daddy fixed that

by giving her pie before supper!

I just kept snapping pictures,

even as folks were leavin',

but you have to admit,

it was a wonderful ev'nin!
