Much to be Thankful For...

We changed up our routine a little this year and it was fun! Reese and I (and Daddy) cooked A-LOT! Daddy and the other Daddy's played golf on Wednesday and Reese and I started cooking..

We made some yummy white chili which we shared with my parents and The Caffrey's on Wednesday night. Blake brought over a bunch of dress up clothes and the girls played while the adults ate and visited.


On Thanksgiving morning we had a yummy brunch with the Caffrey's and the Hooper's and then watched the parade. Reese was not at all intersted in the parade until "Yo Gabba Gabba" came on..she was tha-rilllled! It was so CUTE!

After everyone went home Reese helped Nanny and Poppy browse the adds for Black Friday. Mom and I needed to scope out our shopping plan and I think Reese was pointing out things she wanted for Christmas:)!


Next it was time for Daddy to get the turkey ready to go into the oven. Lately nobody can cook anything in our house without a little helper and this was no exception. They were both pretty proud of this bird...which they named "Stanley"!



After nap time we walked over the to the Caffreys for wine and cheese and part of the Cowboys game. It was a nice little snack before the big meal..the girls played tennis while the adults well..had wine:)




The Caffreys deep fried a turkey and this was something I had never seen before so I was pretty interested in the process...


It was a HUGE mess but really good too!

Then it was time to go home and take our turkey out of the oven and get ready for the big meal.


Look at these three beggars..Nanny, Reesey and Blakey! Of course Daddy gave them bites as he was carving the turkey:)



We pretty much ate and ate and the girls played and played all day! It was a great Holiday with wonderful friends and family! We are very thankful for them all! Happy Thanksgiving!
