Happy Turkey Day!

This was our first Thanksgiving in our own home. We really missed out on having Thanksgiving with Shane's family. We miss them a lot. We wish that we could have been there with everyone.We were excited about making memories in our own home. What a day it has been! I am so proud of the way the whole dinner turned out, being that this was my first time making the Turkey dinner on my own. Let me tell you what we made: Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, green bean casserole, crunchy pea salad, apple salad, Ashley's yummy rolls, my mom's homemade absolutely delicious stuffing,(i think it even turned out better than hers!) wassail, (i love it!) and pumpkin pie. Camille made the apple salad, which was delicious! She also made a lemon pie and a razzleberry pie. She did such an awesome job! We also snacked on a cheese ball, with crackers and a salami log, cashews, almond hershey kisses, and a dessert ball. Talk about getting FAT! The turkey was DElish!!! Shane did the honors of slicing the turkey for everyone. After we ate we realized that it didn't even look like we had started eating yet! We have sooooooo much food! If you are hungry, come on over!


Here is Gavin after all the food was eaten. He zonked out big time!
Here is Erik and Shane playing the Wii. They had tons of fun playing this and they played it a lot. We also played A LOT of card games: phase 10, speed, JEN, golf. We listened to Christmas music a lot, watched the Macy's Day Parade, and of course we watched Football! It really has been a fun Thanksgiving for us.
Here are Tanner and McCoy playing together.
Here is Holly. She was very tired in this picture! How could you not be after eating more than your body can handle?!
