Thanksgiving

on

Copperas Creek

Casey makes final preparations to put the turkey in the oven. He loves to cook and is preparing a wonderful meal.

With Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade on television in the background — and later a series of football games — Toby finds the crease where he hopes to spend the day.

Sadie waits at the door for guests to arrive.

Guest have arrived, everything is out of the oven, prayers have been said, thanksgiving for all the good things of the past year acknowledged, and the meal begins. Left to right: Casey (son-in-law), Sherianne (daughter), Keith (second cousin), Michael (cousin and Keith's father) and Dianne. My empty plate says it's time to put down the camera and join the celebration.
