Every year for many years now we have signed up to serve on Thanksgiving day through the La Crosse Civic Center.

The Civic Center serves meals and deliver meals to people for free on Thanksgiving day.

It is a WONDERFUL ministry and one we really enjoy being a small part of!

This year we again took two vehicles for a two hour shift each to deliver meals to shut-ins.

What fun we had!!!

Blake, Lane, Tate, Eliza and myself were in one vehicle, and Chad, Addie, Grant and Kamryn were in the second one.

It was a beautiful day to deliver meals!

Being able to go and deliver meals to others while still hosting a Thanksgiving meal in your home means that all of the food is prepared the day before.

Which is exactly what I did!

We got home about an hour before Kay’s crew headed over and had plenty of time to heat everything up.

What a delicious spread of food!!!

That last photo is of my plate and I ate every single bite!!

And a piece of pumpkin and apple pie!!

The rest of the day and evening we did what we love to do best – we just enjoyed being together!!!

Our home is always so lively, loud, and full of life with everyone here!!!

Look at Saige!!

She is getting so big and changing so fast.

Thanksgiving 2023, you were so good!!

I would love another piece of that pumpkin pie!!

I sure do hope that the children remember our times of simply serving others for a few hours on a holiday.

It is so very easy to do and I am glad it is a big part of our Thanksgiving memories through the years!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving too!

I LOVE THE HOLIDAYS!!!
