Day of Giving Photos

Sorry for the very long photo post of our Thanksgiving, but there were many fun things to share:




Grandpa Jake watching football


Libby and the Pilgrim hats we made that set off a firestorm of anger from another child, which is a story for another day. I will just say it involves holes in the said child's bedroom wall.


We discovered Diet Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash - YUMMO!

Jake and Hank watching football



Grandma Barrett - loved that she could join us!


Izzie who volunteered to peel and cut all 16 potatoes herself. Peeling potatoes is the only thing I hate about Thanksgiving and Izzie was a lifesaver this year!


Grandma Jake who was a lifesaver as well!



Kids place setting - no china for them



Adult place setting - Jake set the table and the girls made place cards. Not the picture perfect place setting, but I have long since gotten over that and love that my kids are just willing to help!

The table cloth is a Jacobsen family tradition. Each year we write on it something we are thankful for. It is a lot of fun to go back and look at what everyone has written year after year.

The food - the very best part and I am ready to do it again!


Matt watching football

Our only injury of the year was sustained by Stockton. He had a nasty collision with the downstairs kitchen counter. Unfortunately, the counter won but he now matches

If you made it this far you are a trooper! Go ahead and reward yourself with a Diet Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash - You will thank me for it.
