Mc Fam Thanksgiving


Mom's best friend Donna told her this is the only kind of k-cups she buys, and we discovered why today when we tried it!  Who knew it was so good!?  Well, Donna did!  Yummo!!

Caeden wore his new Lopshire University sweatshirt today!

The McEowen family gathered at Mom's & Dad's house today for Thanksgiving.

My cousin Scott made this beautiful and delicious chocolate ganache cake.


The cousins played together.  



I'm sure they enjoy each other's company, even when it sounds like they're about to kill each other...



And, of course, the McEowen family band rehearsed/performed the annual Christmas music...

Clayton on tupperware drum

Caeden on kazoo and tambourine...

Travis and Jeremy on trumpet, Scott on sax...

Cathy on kazoo was declared the most in-tune of all the instruments today...

Aidan has switched from trumpet to tuba, so it was nice to have a low end added this year.  He and Annah kept up very well!

Wendy on flute, Juanita on clarinet....

Marcia on bass clarinet...

It was a raucous hour or so they lasted, and it's always fun and funny to share this family music legacy and tradition!

I almost forgot I'd made Grandma's Graham Cracker Fruitcake!

2 2/3c. graham cracker crumbs
1/2 c. mini marshmallows
1 1/2 c. chopped dates
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
1/4 c. candied cherries (NOT maraschino)
2/3 c. carnation evap. milk

Mix all ingredients together.
Press into greased bread pan.
Refrigerate overnight.


Cut and serve.

The kids asked Gram to read them a bedtime story.  She always says yes.
