Thanksgiving in North Carolina '07

What a great week we had! It was so refreshing, fun, exciting and relaxing! I had forgotten how much I missed the fall season. The colors were still so beautiful. When we arrived in NC the weather was comfortable and towards the end of the week...it was not! Now for the pictures, a mix-match of happenings.

Arianna & Julianna

Julianna's first time in the leaves...she seems to be enjoying them

Arie & Wilma's back yard

cookie turkey made by Jenna & Charity
isn't it cute

Thanksgiving Dinner, kids table and adult table
dinner was so delicious; ham, turkey, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole
rolls and of course pumpkin and pecan and mint pie.

Julianna absolutely lovin' the fast moving vehicle...
she has no fear of anything but women!

you will notice that Cor has Julianna's bunny (aka sleep prop) on his head,
that's the last time we've seen it...it's lost!

Cor getting a generous portion of pie & whipping cream

Charity & Arianna wearing their new dresses
I'm sure this pose is one of many!

Asher learned how to play Dutch Blitz, and loved it!
guess what he's getting from Santa?

we are all having fun playing and laughing together

WHILE
these people prefer quiet, mind activities

Andrea & Corrie (Greg's fiance) playing Mastermind

and Cor hiding out reading...a ridiculous book.
(thanks Big Ash for leaving it here)

chatting with Greg

animals have taken over the garage
an elk being used as a bow hanger

Greg & Corrie with the buck that Greg caught, oh, I mean shot on Thanksgiving morn!

after an anatomy lesson from Greg, here he hung to rest

UNTIL

he got butchered!
Cor, Arie and Andrea drove up to Virginia to visit a friend who cut the meat off

Andrea with the deer hip

that's all friends. Sorry no pictures of us girls shopping.

Quite a Husband that Cor is...

Arrived at my home for no special occasion...










....being one of the last ones to leave church has its advantages. Left over flowers from a wedding.
