Leader Thanksgiving

Last Sunday was Thanksgiving on the Leader side of the family. Keith's parents hosted all of us for an awesome dinner. The daughters-in-law were all assigned to bring salads to help out Grandma Merina. I think I heard someone say that there were 28 people in the house. The weather wasn't too cold, so, the kids all got to burn off some energy at the park which is just across the street from Grandpa and Grandma's house.

Keith's brother Kenny and three nephews from California were home for the annual deer season. Nathen ended up shooting a nice size deer that morning. I think Jodee (from followtheleaders) has pictures of the deer to share on her blog. My husband was gracious enough to take the pictures for her.

It was a day of good food, good conversation and many laughs.

Tomorrow we will go to dinner at my parents' house. Shortly after dinner, Keith and the kids will go to his parents to hang out with Kenny and the boys before they go back to California on Friday. I will be heading to Lincoln to prepare for a day of Black Friday shopping with Jodee.

Happy Thanksgiving,
Michelle
