Thanksgiving 2011

Am I the only one who gets grumpy about Christmas encroaching on Thanksgiving more and more every year? Seriously! I think it's so important to stop and really reflect and be thankful for all we have and give to others just as much as we possibly can.

We were blessed again this to year to be able to provide dinner for large family in the area. I really enjoy the day just hanging out and cooking with my family and it makes me smile to think of them doing the same.


Dinner was completely allergy friendly again this year! I even tried my hand at stuffing for the first time and I'm so pleased with how it came out! I used a Namaste Mix for the bread.



Crockpots had pumpkin pie, corn casserole and sweet potatoes!


Our bread was honey corn muffins.

And Eric handled the turkey.

My favorite blessings are these smiling faces!




And we were joined by a 4th this year!
She's a beauty and a fabulous little eater!
It was fun to be able to share Thanksgiving with the Woodles!

The k-kids were super happy to have them with us also.
They LOVE Miss Braylee!



Being insane, I left the house around 8:30pm that night to head to Walmart. It actually wasn't a total madhouse and we got everything we went for! Awesome!

We're putting up the tree this weekend!
These little critters can't wait!
