Happy Thanksgiving!

Our little turkey! Gobble, gobble!

Thanksgiving 2009

Not much to write about, we had the normal dinner at our place and the family came over. Kevins birthday actually fell on Thanksgiving this year, so we had a chocolate cake along side the pumpkin and apple pies. Instead of writing out what we are thankful for this year, I will just leave you with these pictures, which I think illustrate perfectly what we are most thankful for....

Busy few days!

First off, we had Thanksgiving. I host and cook most of the food and have been doing this for the 6th year this year! Always so much fun to have the family and some good friends come over and stuff themselves silly and then wind down the evening with some games of some sort (this year it was Rock Band II) Here's the lovely 28 pound turkey.......

Yes, 28 pounds! It was larger than some of the children in attendance, and as you can see, was falling off the bone it was so tender. Love me some turkey! Here is the one somewhat decent family shot we got that day...

Next on the weekend agenda was Kevin's birthday. His actual birthday was the day before Thanksgiving so we decided to celebrate on Friday night since my mom took the kiddos to spend the night at her house. We ate at Fireside Pies, delicious! And then went to have a drink and play pool at a favorite local haunt.

Fun was had by all, a little too much fun was had a by a few, but hangovers go away and we have some great memories! Saturday night I went with Ronda to go see Aaron Watson play at Gilleys, forgot my camera :( Oh well, next time. And Sunday I shopped for things for the reception I am helping to host here at my house this Saturday. It's for my BIL and SIL, they got married on a cruise a few weeks ago so we are throwing them a little party. Sunday I also took some pics of the kids for our Christmas cards, which trying to wrangle two toddlers is near impossible! Out of nearly 250 shots taken, I only got one of them together that would work for anything! Whew! So that was my last four days in a nut shell. Looking forward to the hustle and bustle of the holidays!
