Thanksgiving Bounty

A bounty of family love. We couldn't seem to get us all in the photo so Matt isn't visible. Joey's parents joined us. I had difficulty getting the grandchildren in one photo, but mission accomplished.

 

Thanksgiving Birthdays

We have a large group of family birthdays in and around Thanksgiving so we often had a group cake. Cindy's birthday hits Thanksgiving this year. Happy Birthday, Cindy. 2005
 

Gathered Around the Table

We had a fine group around the Thanksgiving table. Best way to get a picture with the grandkids is to sit down and hope they are all looking.

 

Thanksgiving Shenanigans

Artists at work before the feast. Then fun in the bounce house.

Lowell took the photo and Vala wanted to be in it but not looking.

 

Boxing Up Thanksgiving

Colonial collected food for 100 boxes to be given by Cross-Lines Community Outreach for Thanksgiving. Yesterday we loaded up the boxes for delivery today so they have them in advance of the holiday.
 

Thanksgiving Wishes

Vala's class sang "Believe in Yourself" during the preschool Thanksgiving program. We followed with a delicious feast.

 

So Many Blessings

A wonderful Thanksgiving – from 4 little monkeys jumping on the bed, to daughters, to a large family gathering to Plaza lights.

Ready for Thanksgiving

Hayden once again created a beautiful Thanksgiving altar for Colonial. I always like to see our little pilgrims included.

 

Thanksgiving Blessings

Howard and I ate our feast at the Kerns. The Ferguson girls were dressed to go join in Thanksgiving with the Ferguson family.

And of course the chance to see the Plaza lights come on again.

 

 

A New Take on Thanksgiving

Mixing Thanksgiving with the Chiefs. I'm thankful for the Chiefs and the diversion they provide so I support this.
 

Thanksgiving 2020 Style

No sit-down dinner but a family outdoor gathering to celebrate Howard's birthday and Vala's first Thanksgiving. Ending with a gorgeous sunset.

 

Bearer of the Bird

Dad's masterpiece in 1993. He was always very proud of his turkey. They were tasty.

A Day of Thanks

Family Dinner - you can see at least part of everyone.

Lowell in her Thanksgiving Day apparel and Finn and George sharing the light saber-like tube they handed out during the Plaza lighting.

Thanksgiving in New York

Back in 2013 at Rockefeller Center on Thanksgiving Day. We had a brisk 30 degrees that day with a windchill estimated to be about 10 degrees (and we felt every bite of that wind) but it was still an amazing day! They threatened to ground the balloons but thankfully did not.

Thanksgiving Millinery

This checker at Price Chopper said she liked to dress for the holidays to keep life interesting.

Morgan Trademark

As you can see in lower left, the Morgan pilgrim candles snuck onto the Colonial altar again. Thanks to the creative talents of Hayden and her friend, Missy, the pilgrims from my childhood keep reappearing.

November Birthday Celebration

On Thanksgiving in 2005, Chris, Howard, Lee, Cindy and Kelly tried to blow out the candles together but it went about as smoothly as you might expect. They all have birthdays on or within a few days of Thanksgiving. Howard is the only one actually born on Thanksgiving.

Where's Waldo?

If you look carefully, you can see the Pilgrim man and woman on the left of this Thanksgiving display. Those are the candles that have been a part of the Morgan family Thanksgiving since I was a kid. We had to replace some a few years ago and Susan found these. No one has ever lit one although they have gone swimming.

Rainy Lights

It was very damp at the Plaza Lighting Ceremony but the few and the hardy made it. Cindy and Holly have lights that KCPL was distributing.
