Thanksgiving Party

Tristan's class had a Thanksgiving party today.  There was a ton of food, and I contributed a fantastic (if I do say so myself) turkey that I slaved over all night long... well, my crock pot slaved over it all night long.  If you've never done a turkey in the crock pot, I highly recommend it!  It was delicious!  and oh so moist.  I was holding onto a leg bone trying to get the bird out of the pot so I could get the meat off the bone, and the bone came right out in my hand.  Okay - back to the party:

A couple of moms came in and did face painting for the kiddos.

Since we had an event to go to for David's unit, I pulled Grace out of school during her lunch so she could enjoy the feast too before we left for David's function.

I also contributed this turkey cake.

The kids had so much fun at the end of the day they just passed out!

We're planning on having 15-20 around our Thanksgiving table tomorrow - I'm a little overwhelmed, but thankful we can provide the single soldiers a place to go and get a good (hopefully) home cooked meal and a place of fellowship outside the barracks.  We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
