"Ellie Lives Here"

My First Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving 2004

This was my first high-chair experience.

Making Preparations

My mom and dad spent the last two weeks getting ready for my first Thanksgiving. 

Here is my dad cleaning the foyer window before our big Thanksgiving feast!

A Whole Lot of Family Came to Dinner

Here my Great-Grandma Evelyn gets to hold me. 

Grandmother  was very gracious and forgave me for not paying any attention at the moment. 

She understood that I needed to get my beauty rest.

The prep station

We actually lost power due to a very powerful thunderstorm 2 hours before we were scheduled to eat. Gramma had to come get the turkey and bring it to her house to finish cooking. The power came back on just in time to finish cooking the rest of the feast.

Floor time with Uncle Jeffy...

Meeting cousin Dave for the first time

Granddad Jim has come out of the closet and is now an open baby hugger.

The new Mr. and Mrs. Edwards testing out their future?

Happy Thanksgiving!

At last, everyone sat down to eat.

Amen

A Thanksgiving Post Script

Two days later, things are settling down and mom and I are getting back to normal.

As my Aunt Michelle always says, "Life is Good!"
