Early Thanksgiving

No pictures of today's festivities but it sure was a good time. We had the Haacke family Thanksgiving at the Hill house today. We gathered and ate downstairs for a change and it was so nice to have a little extra room. Everyone was there except the Hendersons, the Colin Hills, the Austins and Anne (and we missed you!). Blaine (aka Martha Stewart) was in charge of the craft and we made small crafty Christmas trees to sell at the Festival of Trees. We even had guys tying fabric strips around dowels and gluing little wooden stars on the top. Jason learned a new word - "raffia" and we were happy to do it "for the children".
The fam decided to take up a collection and make a donation instead of exchanging gifts this year. It is still undecided where the donation will go, but this way everyone can donate as much or as little as they want and we will be helping someone less fortunate this Christmas. Have a great Thanksgiving this week. Can't wait to hear from the adventurers at Plymouth.
