Thanksgiving at the Rowleys


Thanksgiving 2009 - with all the foods that the family likes. This year we had Hershey candy bars covered with light orange paper and a label that said Give Thanks. I am happy to buy Hershey candy bars now since my girls and I visited Hershey, PA and found out that the money from Hershey's candy goes to support a school in Hershey for at risk children. It makes me feel good that we are contributing to such a worthy cause.
Happy Thanksgiving Family!!
