Thanksgiving 2010

River enjoyed another Thanksgiving in Paintsville, Ky.  It has become a tradition to start the holiday season in Eastern Kentucky.  She is becoming more and more aware of the meaning and importance of this time of year and it is heartwarming to see her making the connections and putting the pieces together of what will become a lifetime of memories.

Of course the turkey and all the yummy desserts are a plus too.

Thanksgiving Dinner is occupying someones usually scheduled nap time.  Can you tell?

"Ahhhh!  That's the stuff!"

River and her Pepaw deep in discussion of the origins of age-old holiday traditions.
