Thanksgiving!!!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving home together as a family!! We had a fairly relaxing day! Chris always makes the turkey, gravy and stuffing! I make the pies, rolls, potatoes and all of the other side dishes!! It works out well!! We put up the Christmas tree and started building Lego houses to build a village under the tree! At dinner time we went around the table and told what we were thankful for about each person! Everyone took their time and such sweet expressions were shared! We then each expressed different ways we were grateful for the gospel in our lives! I loved it and it was a special time for our family!!

Dinner was so yummy and everyone so sweet to express how much they enjoyed every thing! It makes it worth the work when you see people enjoy the meal!!

One of my favorite things was that the girls did the dishes!!! Way to go girls!!!
The girls helped me make pies! This is the Pumpkin Pie we made!
We also made a chocolate pie and a chocolate mint thigh pie! Our friends, the Rowleys, came over in the evening for a second round of pies! They brought their pies too and we had a huge selection!!! We had so much fun and they helped to fill the void of extended family! Thanks Rowleys!!
My family loved the jello (aka Party in your mouth) this year!! Larisa is so excited to have it again on Christmas!!!
