Thanksgiving as it should be...Surrounded by Friends and Family. Just look at all of these people having fun!!!
Every year we have a Thanksgiving parade in my neighborhood. Here is one of the floats. This year we had 101 people, 4 floats, 10 dogs, and 1 miniature horse. Don't tell anyone or we may have to get a permit next year!

All of my neices and nephew (except my brother Kevin's two girls) were here from Tennessee. Look at this crew!! I was soooo happy. We had soooo much fun. We have a new tradition now. Wiffelball. Friday afternoon, after the shopping. Kids VS Adults. Serious competition. There were some wounds and perhaps a little whining on Saturday morning from various sports injuries. Good Stuff!!


Down here we have "Miss Priss" and her best friend "for only forever mom"!! KB & CC are BFF's. They like to dress up, they like to ride horses, and they are both pretty tough little chicklets. These girls have been best friends since preschool, and we, as adults, could learn a lot from their relationship. They have fun and can't wait to see each other, then they get mad and go to their own homes, then they call and say sorry, and that's that. Isn't that beautiful?? She and her father and grandmother have joined us for Thanksgiving dinner for the past couple of years and we are so greatful to have them as friends.

Our friends Jenny and Fern (in the plastic Elvis hair) came from Orlando for our parade. We're big I tell you!!!
OK, so maybe they stopped by to see Jenny's parents, however....they DID come to our parade:)

This was perhaps my best Thanksgiving ever. I had my house full of family, friends, laughter, and love. Our home, hearts, and parade are always open. Please join us next year!! AB
