Thanksgiving Dinner at the Wilhelmy's!

Happy Thanksgiving! Ford made dinner yeast rolls (Parker House style) and a large pan of banana pudding for the turkey day dinner. There was a smaller crowd than normal, maybe about 25 adults and kids, so with the rain, it was a full house inside their spacious home. The kids and later some of the "manly" adults, braved the chilly wet backyard for some football. Even though the kids got wet, they didn't seem to mind the rain. Nicole has plenty of play toys, so most were content to explore inside.
From Facebook: Loved seeing Mila's face while everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to her (and Nicole included Ford in the birthday wishes ❤️). Mila then would not blow out her candles, so Ford and Avery did the honors! AND I never saw a child open her birthday presents so fast - but her Mom Nicole Hollaway Wilhelmy was even more impressive writing down the gift and givers names even faster!!

I think this was a double dare to NOT blow out the candles!

Deciding what to do as Mila was NOT going to blow out the candles:

I think it was actually Avery who blew out the candles just as Ford was going to help:

Little Remy was so nervous around the crowd, Nicole put him in his "thunder" jacket to calm him, and Cathy spent some time reassuring him:

From Facebook: Happy Thanksgiving! Resting after a delicious turkey day meal at Nicole Hollaway Wilhelmy and Jordan's home. Nana Joy and Aunt Pat enjoying an after dinner chat.

Nicole and Jordan always make it a relaxing day, even with the kids running around and they were baking many sides and pies too. Thank you to them for hosting and getting this family together!
