A Very Happy Thanksgiving

Our feast turned out to be a very happy Thanksgiving. It was a great day we spent all together enjoying food and each others company. Harrison had helped me on Wednesday to get everything prepped and the pies made, so Thanksgiving morning was amazingly un-hectic. I just threw the turkey in the oven first thing in the morning, took a cycling class at the gym, came home, took the turkey out, and heated everything through. We ate at 11:30 AM - I know, kinda of crazy. But Harrison and Noah are usually much better company at lunch than they are at dinner, and since we didn't have any guests to please, we did what works best for our family. Sam and the boys made name place cards while I finished the meal - yes that's what those brown hands are on the plates. And no, they don't actually have a name written on them, but the boys had a great time making them. The boys were really good about trying everything. Harrison even had mashed potatoes (which for some unknown reason, he detests) because he had helped make them. The pies were by far the boys favorite. We had pie around 3 when Noah woke up, and the boys literally licked their plates clean. We made a list of things we were Thankful for this year, so here it is:

• Mommy & Daddy (ahhhhh)
• Heavenly Father
• Soda
• Turkey
• Mashed potatoes
• peas
• chocolate pie
• Mollie
• Noah & Harrison
• Scriptures
• Friends
• praying
• Heavenly Father's Son (Jesus)
• Scoop (Bob the builder's helpful excavator, who helped shovel food into Noah's mouth during dinner)
• Talking to Grandma
• Chocolate
