Thanksgiving, McGaha Style!

Thanksgiving is without a doubt always fun and usually crazy...this year was no exception!!!

This year was extra special as we had the whole family together. It was so fun to see all of the kids running around and playing. They all got along very well for the length of time we were all together... 9 1/2 hours! It was also fun to have Uncle D and Steph and their family show up for dinner as well! My heart was warm all day. It is so wonderful to be surrounded by loving family for an entire day while eating the most delicious food all day long ;)

The day however wasn't all giggles and laughs. Within the first hour I was awarded the "worst mother of the year award". My sweet Sunshine was sitting in the front room at the dining room table coloring with all of the other kids (which she has done a million times before) well of course out of all days, the chair fell back and my sweet baby was upside down hanging from the chair. I ran in to her crying, but it was not a horrific pain cry... it was her mad cry. It lasted all of 2 minutes! I was holding her when I realized she was bleeding from her mouth so I said, " oh gosh she busted her lip". I took her upstairs to wash her mouth out with a rag... when we all discovered my sweet baby was missing a tooth!!! She knocked out a bottom side tooth! I was almost in tears and very upset that my daughter will be missing this tooth until she is about 8 or 9 years old! Luckily though it is a side tooth and on the bottom. My sister in law found her tooth and oh my gosh it was the whole tooth, root and all. She did not chip, crack or break the tooth. It came out all in one piece... it was the longest tooth I have ever seen! We cleaned her up and went downstairs to eat. She had no problem eating and drinking. She acted like nothing happened, thank goodness! She was a trooper through what I thought was a traumatic event!

The rest of the day was full of eating, playing euchre, going through ads, football, lots of talking and of course more eating!!!! The day all in all was FABULOUS!!!! I love my life and my family!
