Thanksgiving Day 2016 at John and Yvonne's!

Thanksgiving was a blast this year! And what a houseful we had!

Sarah, Brian, and Jacob came down from Newport News.

Then it was seven sailors from all around the Hampton Roads area! But, I'll let the pictures do the talking today.

Just in case you were curious, Jacob was the "ice breaker" for the day.

This is called "patiently waiting" for dinner.

And this is called DINNER!!!

This is the required group photo...wow! I love seeing our table this full!!!

And just in case you don't see it, this is called "Thanksgiving food coma"

Yvonne got tired of the KitchenAid splattering whipping cream on her blouse so she covered herself while she made the whipped cream for dessert.

This is everyone running to the kitchen for dessert!

Yvonne cutting the sweet potato pie and everyone still waiting.

Now she's cutting the apple pie!

This is what you might call a close up of the pie with the whipped cream!!

Crystal and Kezia enjoying the pies!

And real quietly Yvonne asked who might help her do the dishes. Four of the sailors jumped up and went to help. She was really impressed! Thanks guys!!!

Then it was also cell phone time! None of these young men and women go anywhere without these! If an enemy every found a way to disrupt cell phone service we'd be sunk!

Then Janzen spent the evening with the energizer bunny - Jacob. Having nieces and nephews he was used to playing with children. He was challenged - to see if he could wear Jacob out. It didn't work. By the time Janzen was finished he took off his coat, and his hoodie. He was perspiring heavily! Jacob, he was just getting started!

And here they are showing off their muscles!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! Thanks for coming over and spending the day with us!!
