This will be a brief pictorial account of all of our Thanksgiving celebrations. We started out on Tuesday with the annual "Feast" for the Kindergarten class.
Here's the whole gang including the teachers.
This is now one of my all time favorite pictures. Don't they look like quite the crew.
On Wednesday we had the annual MFI Thanksgiving dinner. It's a great time for all of us to be together and bond.
Here is the gang of MFI kids. As you can see it looks like we breed our own pilots from the number of boys.
The newest recruits, Brian and Terah. He just started as a maintenance specialist.
She is supposed to give her testimony at our ladies cookie exchange next month. She seems like a sweetie so I am excited to get to know her better.
Ray and Tammy were in TN at the same time as us. Their son Micah was born a week after Collin. We both started at MFI within a few months of each other.
Kenny and April are MFI's fun couple. They are always a load of fun to be with .
On Thanksgiving Day we ate at Harold's parents house. It was smaller than normal since Carla's family was out of town, but Wanda put on quite a spread. All I had to make was a pie. After all the other activities I was okay with that.
My Mom and Dad ate with us also. It was their forty-fifth wedding anniversary. You saw a picture of them before, so here they are now. Still looking good.
The boys on ThanksgivingOn Friday Harold decided to go ocean fishing. I'm sure there are those of you out there who might be interested in seeing his catch. He was quite proud.
I worked Friday night, so Sat. morning I went of my Mom's house to sleep. For some reason it seems much quieter there. I had just woke up when Harold called and said "you have to come home now, I think Landon broke his ankle". Needless to say I rushed home. Harold had been riding him on the front of his bike when his foot went into the spokes. It stopped the bike with enough force to throw Harold over the handlebars. Landon landed face down with his leg entwined in the spokes. After a few hours he started walking on it some so we thought that it must be a sprain. We went to church Sunday, but it was swollen so much he couldn't wear a shoe. By that afternoon the swelling had increased, and he was favoring it more, so off we went to the hospital. He actually fractured the fibula, it wasn't a major break, but it was in the growth plate. Monday morning we went to a Pediatric Orthopedist. They couldn't put a cast on because of all the scrapes and cuts on his leg, so he is wearing an air cast for a week. We will take him back the beginning of next week to have a regular cast put on. I guess my diet plan for the holidays is to carry a four year old around. We are so thankful that neither of them were injured more seriously. Harold is feeling better, but was pretty sore for a couple of days.
Tonight is Rochenda's baby shower and Thursday is Dylan's birthday so I will have more to post in a few days. Stay tuned for the ongoing saga.

You know, Jessica did that same thing last year. Cut the top of her foot major too. She had to hobble on crutches for awhile. Not broken thank goodness, but she was quite interesting as she is my dramatic one when hurt. I have vowed that you should not wear flip flops while riding bikes.
Poor Landon - I was cringing and wincing and "Oh oh" ing while I was reading it!
I did the same thing when I was four - on the back of a bike, my babysitters brother - broke my ankle pretty bad, tore off the skin and you could see the ankle bone. Still remember how much it hurt, my parents were at a school picnic (no cell phones of course) and they couldn't take me to the ER without them so I had to wait a few hours in a LOT of pain - clearly remember it! Had a cast clear up to my thigh, what a pain - my Mom was very pregnant with Charlene and couldn't carry me so I had a kid size wheelchair - that part was fun. "-)
Cute pics from the "feast" at school, especially the one of the four Indians!
Kayla, Kayla....when I grow up I want to be like you...:) Because I know you well enough to know that you handled all that commotion with as much grace as you wrote about it with. You truly never have a dull moment, huh?! I really hope that Landon heals quickly and that he's not in a lot of pain. What an inconvenience a cast will be, though.
Tell Chenda hi for me. She having a boy or girl? Hope the shower goes well...what am I saying? a HS shower?...it WILL go well! Love you!
p.s. I saw on the HSBChurch site that your dad was in the hosp. with pancreatitis??? My Papaw was deathly ill with that...hopefully your dad is doing well.
xoxoxox's to Landon...feeling so sad for him:(
Enjoyed the pics..great one of your parents...i heard John Dnver singing a Cmas song today and thought of your Dad!:)
Hang in there...yes you are "super Kayla" but still this is stressful:) Love Ya!
Go Harold! David would be envious of your catch!
So sorry for little Landon (and you and Harold). You're going to be as sore as Harold if you carry Landon around too much:)
Wish I could be there for Chenda's shower.
Sooo sorry to hear about Landon!! Really enjoyed all the pictures! I'm very impressed by Harold's catch. Just wondering what you're planning on doing with all that fish?! Will you be eating it all? :)
Tara; Chenda is having a little boy. I have pictures that I'll try to post in a few days.
My Dad is doing much better. A few days in the hospital and some IV antibiotics seem to have worked. Thanks for asking.
Twila; Believe it or not we actually eat them. They are Spanish Mackeral, very white with a mild flavor. Come on down and I'll fry you up a mess.
Poor Landon!! I hurt just thinking about it!! Tell Harold the fish look great :-) If he ever decides to change careers I guess you can live off fish! LOL
Awww...poor Landon:-D
