Thanksgiving Surprise

Wednesday evening we drove to the Matsonian's and surprised U. Matt at the door! He had just come up from the basement and there we were at the door. :) After getting over the initial shock of us standing there, he brought us down to the basement were the guys were chilling. Josiah, Benj and Peter were all shocked to see us walk down. It was priceless!

Rachel drove up a short time later and saw our car with the Texas license plate in the driveway . . . she guessed it was us. :)

Thursday was filled with finishing the Thanksgiving meal. Aunt Susie and Rachel made a delicious brunch, complete with bacon, eggs and money bread! It was the perfect way to start Thanksgiving. The kitchen was overtaken with food . . . turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potato pudding, gr. bean casserole, spinach souffle, stuffing, sweet potato casserole (with marshmellows), and tons of dessert!


The rest of the family made it in and the house was turned into a hearty celebration. The camera's were snapping all through out the meal. Now, no Thanksgiving is complete without a good game of hearts. The girls kept up the tradition while the guys crashed in front of a movie downstairs . . . we had more fun. :-)

  1. Don't you just love surprising people? I would've loved to see the M's faces when you walked in. Haha, bet it was priceless. ;-) Hearts or a movie... definitely hearts. What's wrong with those guys?!? At least the girls continued the tradition. Did you skunk 'em, or were you skunked by 'em?
