THANKSGIVING DAY

This year we had Thanksgiving with Nate's

family. We went to Niesha and Jeremy's house

and Jeremy's family joined us too! It was so neatly

set up; my mother nlaw Debbie and sister nlaw Niesha

had set up everything the night before and then slaved

away all day. We went over about 1:30; the guys played

cards and hung out and the ladies finished up with all the

cooking while the kids played and enjoyed each others

company. We ate dinner which included, Turkey of course,

yams (my favorite), homemade cranberry sauce, mashed

potatoes and gravy, a great cabbage dish, jello, green bean

casserole (which i made), rolls, stuffing, and a few other

small appetizers. Then we had pumpkin pie, lemon pie,

bannana cream pie and a crumbled pumpkin dessert, it

was all so great! Debbie is an incredible cook and i always

am learning new things from her! We ended up leaving at

about 10 p.m. it was so much fun!!!!

Putting Up The Christmas Tree

The kids helped me with the bows for our tree; we had fun all putting the tree up listening to christmas music and eating peanut brittle. The kids were so good at helping me with it all. Of course i had to help tylar with

the ornaments so she wouldn't brake any (and didn't)

but Braxton did it all by himself and did a great job!

I still want to add a few things to the tree but it felt

so good to get it up, it brings such a warm home feeling

and thats why i love christmas so much!!
