Catching Up on Thanksgiving

Since I am just starting this whole blog thing I wanted to put the start of our holiday season in. Our Thanksgiving was probably the best yet! We all pitched in and cooked. Bill and I spent the day working side by side on all of our special side dishes. Erin and Paige made the corn souffle, Kyle made his traditional apple pie, Lindy helped Bill make bread, and Ethan worked on the Turkey prep with Bill.
Our annual tradition of giving everyone an ornament for their Christmas tree was a huge hit this year! The girls make dough ornaments of everyone's faces down to hair and eye color. We then painted them and coated them in modge podge, hot glued a ribbon and used them as extra place cards.
Our tables were beautiful! The desserts were wonderful! Another memory filled day!

The kids put themselves in the dining room with
Whitney and BJ. Kyle was promoted to the adult
table!


Aunt Gretchen proudly wears her jingle bell
earrings that the girls made. They were busting
to give their gifts as soon as people walked in
the door.


A post meal reading session, these 3 really are
a lot alike!
