Well, we had a great Thanksgiving Day here. I hope and pray that you did also.
Kevin cooked the turkey, as is his custom. He has been smoking our Thanksgiving turkeys on the grill since I can remember. So yummy and the leftover turkey soup is delish!!! This year I had each of the kids pick a side to make which made my work load much lighter. Josh did an apple pie (plus he made the pie dough for the pecan pie that I made). Sarah did the dinner rolls, Zach did the sweet potatoes and Becca signed up for the mashed potatoes. Didn't leave much for me to do and I was OK with that! ;)
Here are a few pics from the day:
Becca named the salt and pepper shakers Anna and William. Kind of funny because during the dinner we had requests for "Anna" or "William" to be passed. :)

On another note ~ Kevin is almost done with this phase of his chemo. He has 2 more treatments, this coming Tuesday and Friday. I'm excited for him that it is almost done. Then we will move into a whole new phase of his treatment. We will switch from the cancer center that he has been getting his treatments from to KU Med. Hopefully we will receive some sort of a schedule for all the testing that he needs soon. Then we are expecting for him to have his stem cell transplant in January.
His chemo side effects have been harder for him with each round that he has gotten. (He doesn't share all that is going on.) This time is definitely hardest on him yet. He has had some neuropathy in his feet which is a side effect of this chemo. In the past it just numbed a small part of his feet. This time it is effecting his whole foot with numbness and pain! UGH So those that are praying, keep it up. We are thankful for those of you that are praying for him!
Blessings,
Kathy
