Uncle Greg and Aunt Susan were host and hostess extraordinaire for Thanksgiving 2010. They did an absolutely fantastic job, and this year there were 21 of us there....the whole Slater family, plus about half of the Schubach family as well. It was fun to have such a large group!
No kids table for
this crowd. Look at this amazingly gorgeous Thanksgiving dinner table. All 21 of us were seated around it. Pass to the left, please. I was impressed!
Looking down the table. I love that Bill's (Susan's brother-in-law), head actually showed up forefront in this picture...he warned me about it, but I didn't take him seriously! :)
Mmm. Every single morsel was made lovingly from scratch. It was seriously divine.
OK, so it's not a totally clean plate, but there were a few refills between the pre and post pics. We were all stuffed...and thankful for such a wonderful time.
It was definitely a diamond day at the Goodwill this morning when I found these antique gnomes tucked away in the Christmas section for a mere $1.99 each. I did a little happy dance in the aisle upon my discovery because they're so cute. They were all the buzz at checkout too, as others saw my great find!

Boy, have I ever been lazy about posting on here! Working 40+ hours a week is to blame.
I do love the red leaves on our oak trees this time of year. 
A funny piece of homework that I discovered in Christopher's backpack. 
Today was a 'no school' day for the boys, so g'ma came to town to watch them and show them how to make an apple pie. They had tons of fun. First you make the crust....
.....then you peel the apples.
The pie is ready for the oven. 
Nothing like a pie that is baked with love. 
The finished product. Good thing g'ma showed them how it's done. These boys just don't get exposure to some of the things that were commonplace in yesteryear.
