Thanksgiving 2009

(pictures to come soon, I took my camera and forgot to use it, so just waiting on an email)

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. Nick started the day by playing basketball with a few friends. I actually got to sleep in a little bit, all of the kids slept until around 9, it was great. When Nick got home we had a big breakfast of sausage, eggs, and fruit. We watched the parade and made an apple pie (I made 3 pies the night before) and homemade macaroni and cheese. It was very relaxing and enjoyable morning.
We then went over to our friends the Hoffman's along with the Tuckers and Roberts for a big feast. We had a yummy lunch/dinner of turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls, cranberries, sweet potato casserole, corn, and mac n cheese. Very yummy!!
After we ate the men took most of the kids to play some football outside, while the women sat around and gabbed. Then we decided to try and play the totally insane card game, that Nick has had forever and we have never really played it. It was fun, but defiantly insane because we were trying to learn all the rules. After playing for a little bit, it was time for pie. I made most of the pies this year, we had 2 pumpkin, banana cream, apple, and thanks to Bonny a pecan. Nick's family always has a pie party for Thanksgiving, so that it the reason Nick wanted to make so many pies, but it was fun and they turned out pretty good.

I am very grateful for my wonderful husband and my beautiful kids. I am grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ and for the gospel in my life. I am grateful for all of my family and friends and yes I am grateful for YOU!!! We had a great Thanksgiving this year and I hope you did too.
