Fabulousness: Thanksgiving 2009

Philippians 2:5-11 (NIRV)

"As you deal with one another, you should think and act as Jesus did.

In his very nature he was God. Jesus was equal with God. But Jesus didn’t take advantage of that fact. Instead, he made himself nothing. He did this by taking on the nature of a servant. He was made just like human beings. He appeared as a man. He was humble and obeyed God completely. He did this even though it led to his death. Even worse, he died on a cross!

So God lifted him up to the highest place. God gave him the name that is above every name. When the name of Jesus is spoken, everyone will kneel down to worship him. Everyone in heaven and on earth and under the earth will kneel down to worship him.Everyone’s mouth will say that Jesus Christ is Lord. And God the Father will receive the glory." Philippians 2:5-11 (NIRV)

Thanksgiving 2009

Getting ready for Thanksgiving at the Lindquist home, mom and I cooked the side dishes and ham, while dad watched some football and ran various errands for things we were missing.

We made ham, cornbread bake, two types of yams, and green bean bake.

Michael slept (as he had worked the graveyard shift the night before) and Patrick overslept by accident, but both met up with us at the Lindquists!

When we arrived at the Lindquists, we had a few more things that needed a little heat (marshmallos and onion crispy topping things), and Connie needed a few more minutes for the cheesey carrots. But, of course, we stopped for a few quick pictures! Lois, mom, and Connie (along with the steam from the stuffing!)

As Scott helped carve the ham, we were pulling the final dishes from the oven.

We had a great dinner! After clean up, we moved to the living room and played a few games of Family, after which, we had dessert.

This year's Thanksgiving had an addition to the Lindquist Family, Sophina! Last Thanksgiving, I have pictures of mom and Connie looking at sonograms of Sophina, and here she is!
