Wonderful Weekend

We had a great weekend. We hosted Thanksgiving this year and had 35 people at our church at noon! It was so much fun. Derek and I are a great team and he makes a LOT of work a BUNCH of fun! We did so much laughing and goofing off as the two of us prepared and cooked two 20-pound turkeys, a 10 pound ham, peeled and cooked 40 pounds of potatoes and various other set-up tasks Wednesday night and Thursday morning. He is so wonderful!!! Saturday morning was the day Brady was baptized!!! It was a wonderful day!! He had great support from friends and family and the guests totaled nearly 70!! Great-Grandpa's Dick Bezzant and Wally Atkinson witnessed his baptism and Great-Grandpa Carroll blessed the family and food before we ate. Aunts Aundrea and Andrea handled the music and his sisters sang a beautiful medley of two primary songs. Dixon gave one of the prayers and Grandpa Fish and Grandma Bezzant were the speakers!! It was a wonderful day and we enjoyed it immensely.
Brady's buddies
Evan, Dennis, Zack (BFF), BONES, Dixon, Ryan
Brynne, Annie
The happy family!!
We had a hard time finding a suit for this boy! First, he is just plain hard to fit! Second, he wanted a blue pin-stripe exactly like Dad's. He finally found this one and was happy as a clam! Derek is a babe!!!

This may have been the best Thanksgiving EVER. That might be because we DIDN'T have to do it with the Hills, but it would be really shallow of me to admit that.

Thank you for a marvelous weekend!

Wow, you guys actually had FUN making that much food? I think if I had been involved, somebody would have died. It makes me grouchy just thinking about it! Sounds like Derek truly believed Snow White. Does he whistle?
