Turkey Day and Stuff

We had a really nice Thanksgiving. Perfect, really. This was the first year ever that we have hosted it at our house. We were able to trick my in laws into coming to our house for Thanksgiving by waiting to bless Tait this week. Nice, huh?

My FIL did a great job carving our little turkey. I was really afraid we would not have enough, but we ended up having a ton of left-overs. I had so much fun baking and cooking alongside my MIL who is always great company. The food all turned out perfect. Our friends the Proffitts came over with their two cute boys and Rach and Booker played and played. They could be future husband and wife you know. Rob's great aunt and uncle also came and it was fun to visit and get reacquainted with them.

What's Thanksgiving dinner without a little bubbly? Non-alcoholic, of course.

This little girl is obsessed with grandpa. He has probably spent hours pushing her on the swing since he got here. She is going to have some serious withdrawals when he and grandma leave tomorrow.


I just about had a heart attack when I saw Caleb up on the roof. He and Rob put up our Christmas lights on Saturday and they look so pretty and festive.

Is everyone else as excited as I am for Christmas?

We would be so lucky to have Booker marry into such an awesome family! Thanks again for Thanksgiving dinner. It was perfect. We're still enjoying ham, gravy leftovers. The cheesecake leftovers were gone in about 5 minutes. So good.

So glad that you were able to have Jerry & Barbara there this weekend. I bet it's been so fun for you and the kids. Your dinner sounds yummy. I love the picture of Jerry pushing Rachel on the swing. Too cute.

I can't get excited because it's coming so fast! That picture of Caleb on the roof about gave me a heart attack too.

If we could wear short sleeve shirts in November we would probably hang lights too. Glad your Thanksgiving turned out great.

Yep, I would probably have a heart attack too if I saw one of my kids on the roof. Akkkk!

I'm glad your dinner turned out well. I love Thanksgiving and am always a little sad when it is over. But Christmas is the best and I love seeing all the decorations.

We had a little of the bubbly too! Non-alchy of course ;) I seriously love that stuff!

Great job "tricking" Barb and Jerry into coming down. You guys know how to work it ;)

What a fun Thanksgiving. It looked perfect. Our kids loved their grandparents too! So did you get to take a week off cooking with all of those leftovers? I think that is the best part of hosting!
