Thanksgiving Pictures

Here are some pictures from our long Thanksgiving week, which started on Thursday at Isaac and Christie’s house with Christie’s family, and ended Sunday night with dinner at our house with the family. Enjoy!

Christie and her sisters really did a great job preparing a Thanksgiving feast for over 25 people!

Brother Slattery enjoyed playing cards with the kids :)

Washingon's 1789 Thanksgiving Proclamation

"Whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me 'to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness;

Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the TWENTY-SIXTH DAY of NOVEMBER next, to be devoted by the People of these United States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be;

That we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks...for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government...particularly the national one now lately instituted, for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed...to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue."
