Turkey Day

We had a great Thanksgiving. We were surrounded by family from both sides (literally - all immediate family members from BOTH our families, except my sister Meg and her family, were with us) for a day of outside work, sports competitions, a walk on the beach, cooking, eating and finally, watching the Patriots embarrass the Jets. We could not have asked for a better day and we are so thankful for our trip home and our wonderful families. 

Seaglass hunting

Marmie and Lucy looking for Seaglass and finding quite a few good ones.

The five Lawson granddaughters


Wreath-making is Amie's favorite crafty part of Thanksgiving.  Here, Scout plays with the wreath-rings.

Amie tried to teach Lucy how to jump-rope.

As part of tradition, Amie always makes Apple Pie. This one was particularly impressive - note the intricate weave.

Tennisball golf! Three generations participated

A brief look at one of the competitions - a shooting biathlon involving BB-gun shooting and archery.


Lawson tradition of the youngest (walking) child to navigate the length of the table. 



We missed having our oldest sibling, Meg, and her family with us on Thanksgiving!
