Whew!

The day after hosting Thanksgiving is kind of like a nice loooooong sigh, isn't it? You are not only feeling "stuffed" from all of the holiday food, but hopefully feeling full of some good old-fashioned family time too. Everything turned out beautifully, and I had lots and lots of help from everyone! I hardly took any pictures because I was all wrapped up in turkey and mashed potato creating, but I did manage to snap these..

One of my two VERY impatient and hungry children....   ;-)

(Shannon decided to be a brunette this fall by coloring her gorgeous, natural blonde hair, which in turn has created MORE gray hairs on her MOTHER'S head)

One of my really sweet and pretty niece, Jamie....

One of my BEAUTIFUL Mommy and Shawn...

And, of course, one of Miss Maggie, all freshly bathed for the special day!

I hope YOUR Thanksgiving was wonderful too!

Kim

Dear Kim,
I am slowly transferring all my favorite blogs to Bloglines. So nice to see a new column from you when I checked in this morning.
I took it easy yesterday and am going to do the same today. A little baking, a lot of knitting, and maybe some mending and embroidery, while listening to The Eagles' new CD

What a beautiful family you have Kim :) Wishing you a peaceful day today.

Hugs,

Your mom is beautiful, Kim. You two look so much alike. Your kids are beautiful too.

P.S. Sorry, Maggie. I forgot to say that you're beautiful too.

Wonderful photos, Kim! I know the haircolor feeling! Xanti, likes to surprise me! Shannon is a beautiful girl. Your entire family is gorgeous. You and your mother look so much alike!

I wish I could get Miss Molly to sit still for a photo...maybe one of these days! Maggie is so cute!

We've begun our annual pull out all the stops Christmas decorating! This year it's less, because of our trip...but still we're busy!!!

Happy weekend, Kim!

Sigh.. I love to come to Daisy Cottage. It fills me with warmth and peace.

Happy Belated Thanksgiving, and what gorgeous pictures! Your family (including Maggie) is truly blessed, every single one of them are beautiful! I can only imagine what a lovely Thanksgiving you had all together. I bet your table was perfection, and filled with yummies.

In AZ, we did it western style, some jalapenos involved, waaayy too much food and then a horseback ride through the desert. With lots of love and family
:)

Everyone looks so happy!! Glad to hear that you had a wonderful day. You look so much like your beautiful mother!!

Blessings for a wonderful weekend,

Great pictures! My Thanksgiving was very nice, too! Today I've been cleaning my fridge (between blogging, sewing, crocheting and knitting--all WAY more fun) to make room for Christmas-y foods. And I'm going to start taking down Thanksgiving/Fall this week. Hard to believe, it's almost December!

Kim,

Your daughter looks pretty with brown hair.
Be thankful she didn't go for black, blue, pink, or orange.

We went out to dinner and then went to a performance of Cirque du Soleil. It was fabulous!

Cute kids Kim,and your Mom is sooo pretty too!
Shannon looks good in dark hair!When I was young I used to experiment with color...no harm done,it grows,tee-hee.Remind me to tell you what an awe inspiring week this has been!

[bethany]

It was so nice to see all of your family photos!! It felt like we were invited over too! I'm glad you had fun and I had to read your comments again because I didn't recognize Shannon at all!!! I thought maybe she was Shawn's girlfriend!! As someone else said, it's just haircolor... though I spend a lot of money highlighting my hair to look like Shannon's natural color!!! Oh well. Hope your weekend is just as fun!

Totally gorgeous. What a beautiful family; even the dog is a cutie!
