Thanksgiving 2009 - in Alexandria, LA

Patty Ann & David hosted the

Thorpe Family Thanksgiving
in their home this year.

We had a small group this year. Only 40!!!
(usually have between 40 & 60)


LET'S EAT!!!!


WHAT A SPREAD!!! GREAT JOB BY EVERYONE!



After all that food it's time to sit back and watch the Cowboys.


OR, make a slide out of mattresses.



Monica and John (a wanna be Cowboy.)



Check out that buck tooth on John. Too funny!



What's that e-mail address to the Irving Police Dept. I bet those co-workers of John's would LOVE to get a hold of these pictures.

Instead of WATCHING those Cowboys play these guys decided to play their own game.

Maybe some of them should have stayed inside & watched those Cowboys.

What a beautiful sunny cool day.

These little guys had a wonderful time out in the sun.

OK family, after reading all my "captions" if you have found I have mis-spelled a name PLEASE let me know so I can fix it. I did my best trying to remember all the kiddo's names. There are so many now. I really enjoyed seeing everyone and hope it's not so long before we see you all again.
