Thanksgiving

We worked on our Thanksgiving sign for weeks before and I never got around to hanging it up until the day of...oh well. It was super cute and packed away to be added to for next year!

We were so happy to have the Greg and Holly Baker family over for dinner along with our dear friends Jodi and Bobby from Bryan's work. Of course I remembered to take pictures after the feasting was over, but let me tell you...the dinner was delicious. Shelley and Rich let us use their smoker while they were out of town so Bryan did an AMAZING job and the turkey was so deliciously moist and delicious. Honey butter adds a little extra something and the recipe I used for sweet potatoes this time around was a winner! The adults enjoyed fabulous conversation mingled with some football watching of course and the kids had a blast playing like crazy. We are so blessed to live close to family and it is so fun to all get together and make memories!

 

I let Bry to the "picking" this time around. We have turkey and gravy in the freezer for a future dinner and I couldn't be more delighted!

Maylee slept through dinner...which was great since I got to eat and she doesn't mind because she hardly eats any of the foot we had to offer!Once she did get up she decided that the counter with glasses full of utentils was the prime spot to play. She is such a dolly...and yes, she gets away with just about anything!

 

Aunt Lulu made this hat for Carter and he loved it so I thought I better get a picture of him in it before it was put to rest. Not the most flattering picture of this little man, but hey - what's a mom to do!

Successful Thanksgivings all around. I love this time a year and hope to cherish every moment I can!
