Thanksgiving 2007 was spent in Victoria, Texas with Nana & Papa Dykes. Cherokee was there as well as Trevor (Matthew and Danitra's son). He is so darling so we have many pictures of him to share!! He likes to play on Grandma's computer and listen to some "tunes" with some supervision. You can see he's something of a "laptop" computer operator (he sits on top of somebody's lap when he plays).
Trevor really likes Cherokee's little dog Racer. They're both pretty cute together.
Trevor kept hanging around while the Thanksgiving day feast was being prepared, and he figured out where all the good stuff was being kept. He's just about the right size to get up close and personal with all the good stuff.
Of course Nana's the chief cook in her house. For the big family feast everyone brings a little of the meal and Nana orchestrates getting it all put together. Nana made a big batch of her cornbread dressing (yum, the best!), and goood mashed potatoes with just the right amount of "ploppyness" to them. Karen brought her famous homemade cresent rolls, some sweet potatoes, a green bean casarole, and a vegetable tray. Dan usually gets to cut up and pick apart the turkey.
Trevor got to be our taste tester for some things. Kind of hard to tell what it is he's testing. It's something green, but not peas...no peas this Thanksgiving.No big family picture of everyone eating...we were too busy eating all the good stuff to worry about getting it in a picture for everyone else to see. Let's just let is be said, it was a wonderful dinner.
We are so thankful for family and friends and for the abundance of love and life that is ours.
