Sunday 18~~~~ Today is my son Bill's 45th birthday and we celebrated it at our house with a turkey and all the fixings dinner. It was nice cooking a turkey dinner, as I never fix one for my family anymore, as we do a breakfast for my family on Thanksgiving and we do the turkey dinner with Kent's family at the beach every year and Kent does the bird, that is their tradition. I do all the chopping for his stuffing and I am the mashed potatoes and gravy maker. There were only 17 of us here, as some were out of town. I used my electric roasting pan for the first time with cooking a turkey and it sure worked out neat and so fast. After dinner, we had two tables of card players which was a lot of fun. After cards, cake and ice cream, everyone headed home about 5:30 as they all have things to do before going to work on Monday. I sure have slowed down on my cooking skills for large groups and I find I am tired when the day is done and the last family leaves for home. LOL I still like to have everyone over to our house even if it does tire me, I have plenty of time to rest up when they go home. Here is a picture of Bodie with his wrangler shirt that is so cute with his wrangler jeans. He has grown so much since last year, he was a size 7 slim and this year he is a 10 regular, how fast the kids do grow. I tell him he is my little George Strait!
