Thanksgiving!!!

Ok... Well I meant to post something the other day, and I completely forgot what I wanted to tell you about... so I will talk about something else... Yesterday, was Thanksgiving... and our house was FULL! We counted about 60 people... (give or take) Ten of those people were Marines! We enjoyed them immensley, in fact... mom and dad said that they preferred them over the Air Force and are making plans to take in Marines next year. I sure hope they do! I enjoyed talking to them. We also had a few adoptive families and friends. None of the special needs kids had issues... not a lot of disobedience, or fits... not that anyone here would have really cared! I made 19 pies on Wed. It took alot of work! The pies I made were- pecan, cherry, chess, pecanless pecan, apple, coconut,and a pumpkin-pecan hybrid custard-pie thingmajingy. I don't know what you would call it for sure. Anyhow... it was fun.. and I wish that day didn't end... I love it when friends and family are here... and when we open our doors to accept those who are so so far away from their friends and family. I hope they felt welcome as we all tried hard to make them welcome... Thank you, Marines for allowing us to welcome you all into our house! We pray you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed having you!! Thanks! Marie J.
