A Wonderful Thanksgiving Day

I love Thanksgiving...
This year the day started with a great game of flag football in the park. The Schultz family womped up a big game. About 32 people played, 16 on each side. It was a little crazy but a lot of fun!
Little Wendy Lu enjoyed watching the game too!
Charles was one of the few players who actually touched the ball until he pulled a muscle in his leg. We the hosted the Big Thanksgiving Dinner for the Lamb family. 38 people including the kids. I cooked the 23 pound turkey...yum. Charles smoked some Salmon...more yum! Everyone else brought the side dishes...even more yum! Some annual favorites are Grandma Lamb's home made croissant rolls, Chrissy's pumpkin cookies and Sue's special green salad.
We set up dinner outside, because I like a sit down dinner...my house is too small. So we set up tables on my driveway! I hang sheets on the archway for a little privacy.
I was little nervous because of the threat of rain. But it ended up being a beautiful day.

Wow....it looks like your Thanksgiving was fabulous. The weather was perfect and your table area was soooo pretty. What a great idea with the sheets. Only in California can we have a beautiful outdoor room.
Looks like the Lambs have LOTS to be thankful for!

Ah, to be in So. CA for Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful weekend with Ryan and Amber in Dutch John but it was COOOLLLLLDDDD! It didn't snow, but the wind was chilly. If you go to smilebox.com you can create scrapbook pages to post on your blog with pictures saved on your computer. It's a great way to publish a lot of pictures. Have fun.
