Thanksgiving!

Jimmy and I hosted our families for Thanksgiving this year.  We had my Mom and a few people from Jimmy's family come over for dinner.  I spent the week before cleaning and cooking a little bit each day during the little down time I have.  I had to start way in advance so that I would get everything done!  My mom made the turkey and the desserts while I did all the appetizers and sides.  Cindy brought a fruit salad and some delicious wine.  It was so much fun and we all had such a great time just hanging out together!  Here are a few pictures...

 Table all set and ready to go!

Everyone sitting down to eat!

Every year my Dad and Tari celebrate Thanksgiving on Friday.  It's always nice that we don't have to go two places on Thanksgiving day.  My dad's family and Tari's family all joins together and everyone brings something delicious to eat (I brought the cornbread stuffing and chocolate peanut butter balls).  I love being surrounded by 25 (sometimes more) family members laughing, eating, and enjoying some wine together.  It is so wonderful!  My favorite part about getting together with all of these family members is that everyone jumps in and takes care of the boys.  My amazing dad fed Dylan while Jimmy and I (and everyone else) ate Thanksgiving dinner.  Stewart and Savannah played with Owen almost the entire time!  They wore him out and kept him entertained.  Savannah and Aunt Alicia took Owen outside to watch the annual family football game.  It warms my heart to see everyone loving on the boys so much!  I was not good at taking pictures, so I stole all these pictures from Lauren!  Thanks Lulu!!!

I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was wonderful!

Love,
