Thanksgiving/Steve's 50th

 The day started with the traditional football game. This year Dennis got flags which helped limit the usual agruing, but many were walking slow by the time they called it a game. 

Fifty Years ago on Thanksgiving Day Steve was born. Grace likes to tell that it was only after she'd got the family fed Thanksgiving Dinner that she told the family it was time to go to the hospital.

We celebrated Steve's Birthday and Thanksgiving in Tenino at the Thornton's.

Steve's sisters put together a game to see who knows Steve the best.

Do you know one thing you count on if you get a voice message from Steve?

(if you answered ..... it will be long, he will talk until he is cut off--you get a point)

It was great being with everyone, the crazy ones and the sane ones.................

The mixture always makes for good times.

While some may question the noise level at times, everyone has to agree the food  and service at the Thornton  Country Kitchen is always great. 

This year the dinner was done potluck style. It was fun for all to add their flair.
