Thankful

Zac always wants to help in the kitchen

Our Thanksgiving was low key.  Last year at this time we were living in our travel trailer while waiting to move into our house, so we just wanted to stay home this year.  We finally got to cook the turkey Jay hunted in the spring and it was good...not great, but good enough.  I think I prefer to have a whole bird.  I made a few pies the day before and realized that I forgot to add sugar in my pumpkin pies, so I went out on Thanksgiving morning to get more stuff.  I am not sure you would've noticed if you had enough whip cream, but it was bugging me and I had to fix it.  However, had to go to two stores before I finally found all the ingredients I needed.  Would've just bought a pie but everyone was out of them...duh.  It all turned out okay and Scotty got his pumpkin pie.  I also have a great recipe for the perfect Pecan Pie.  Always steered clear of making those before because I could never get the middle cooked, but this recipe is awesome and works every time...Zac helped me with that one :) 

Love the cold... 

I made these Mayflower treat holder place-markers for the table.  Unfortunately, forgot to snap a pic of the table when it was fully set, but I made one for each of us

And here the boys are playing with the boats (and Trev eating the candy) while I look at Black Friday ads...the perfect ending to a great Thanksgiving!
