Sunday dinner with this cutie! |
My home was full, belly was full, and most of all...my heart was full! We had a fun Thanksgiving weekend filled with food, shopping, family, and lasting memories. Wednesday, the kids and I worked hard on making all the dishes for our Thanksgiving meal. We made the following: Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Potato Casserole, Asparagus Casserole, Green Bean Casserole, Pineapple Dish, Deviled Eggs, and Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad. We picked up other items we ordered and needed (Ham, Dressing, Pies, Turkey, Gravy, Tea). It was a full day for sure. That night, my sister and her family came in and stayed with us until Saturday. Thanksgiving Day was pretty relaxing...we worked on a puzzle (this might become a new tradition). And spent the day watching football. We had a huge meal with everyone (me, Kyle, Kathryn, Kaden, Kiki, Sean, Garrett, Dakota, Pammy, Mimi, Papa, Uncle Jay, Uncle Michael and his nurse, Aunt Aimee, Maxx, and Aubree. All 17 of us, and it was perfect! After our meal, we watched more football, and the kids played. Friday morning, my mom, sister and I set out for Black Friday shopping. We took care of many items on our list. That night, we had an adult dinner at Blackhorse. And Saturday, we hit up Miss Lucilles and went to see the new Grinch movie. Saturday night, it was back to just our family of 4. I spent the night cleaning up and getting the house back together. Sunday after church, we spent the day decorating for Christmas. It was a busy weekend indeed, but it was a great one!
