Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year, we were excited to have Shane’s parents come out to spend their first Thanksgiving at our house.  They flew in the day before Thanksgiving, and we had lots of fun activities while they were here.
This was my first Thanksgiving at our home.  I was glad Shane’s parents (especially Christie) were here to help get it all ready, and that I had my mom’s handy Thanksgiving shopping list, recipes, and timeline. 
While making the food, the boys made some Thanksgiving hats that my mom had sent them.  They had fun putting them together, and trying them on later.
   
Our Thanksgiving feast was delicious.  We had all of the yummy fixings plus too many delicious pies to choose from.  We had lots of leftovers too, so it was great because I hardly had to cook the rest of the weekend!

Our Thanksgiving table, and a couple of the place settings.  Landon wrote our names on the place cards and helped me make the oreo turkeys (which did not stay together very well!)

 
It was a wonderful Thanksgiving day, and it made me even thankful for my mom and Shane’s mom and all the work they have put into the many Thanksgivings we have spent at their houses!

We decided to organize our thankful items by letter since Davis is always talking about what letter things start with.
