Thanksgiving Party Air Force Style
baby abby in her sling carrier that she LOVES!

the fun shark jumping thing they had for the kids


everybody sitting down to some good thanksgiving food

so, there was a raffle going on and we were not going to particpate but at the last minute zeraline talked our friend debbie into buying $10 worth of tickets and that if they won they were going split the money. well...guess who won and split the money. I am not for "gambling" ( even though this raised money for next years thanksgiving) but the two wives who were there who's husbands are in iraq for the holiday's won the prize. This will enable zeraline to buy the re-usable diapers she wants so they can save money on diapers in the long run!

Sweet Potatoe Casserole

from the kitchen of Cinda Z. (Amy Z.'s mom)
Beat together(with a mixer) 2 quarts of canned sweet potatoes, 4 eggs, 3/4 cup milk, 1 Tablespoon vanilla, 1 stick of butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon(rounded) of cinnamon. Spray Pam on baking pan. Pour mix in pan. Topping: Mix(with a fork) 1 cup of brown sugar, a small package of chopped pecans, 1/2 cup flour, 1 stick of butter(room temp), 1tsp cinnamon. Crumble on top of potato mix. Bake at 400 for 45-60min (until bubbly and brown/crunchy looking on top)
