Thanksgiving 2012!!

We haven't been in town for the last few years for Thanksgiving...(we were in the mountains... to see those posts, click HERE).... but this year we were! We celebrated with folks that live in our city, and folks that live somewhere else and came in town for the weekend :)
The kiddos had fun playing at the park :)

The guys played some football :)

...American Football :) (it's American Thanksgiving so you have to have some sort of American Football right? :) haha!)

We had TONS of food! This was just the dessert table!

Here are some folks eating...

First Stop - Beauty Parlor! We walked a little ways down the street to a lady's house. The beauty parlor was in one of the rooms in her house. Jaya had already been to her house that morning to get her hair done, but now it was time for the makeup.
