Give Thanks

The matching shirts were totally unplanned... not sure if this means we're turning into an old married couple or what

This Thanksgiving, we were blessed to be able to celebrate at our home. It was so fun to host Thanksgiving at our house for this first time, try my hand at the turkey and also break out the china!

Apparently I cooked the turkey upside down...WHOOPS! Though, I just like to say I planned it that way so the bird would be juicer :)

Is it done yet?

Kyle's parents drove up from FL and spent the week with us, which was great to spend time with them and catch up in person. We were even able to try out the web cams, so we can see each other virtually when we talk. :)


My parents, Nanny, Aunt Laurie and Cousin Erin came too and we all gathered around our make shift table with oodles of food and lots of laughs.


For some reason, none of us thought to break out the camera when everyone was here, so all i have is pictures of food (typical of my family) and a few shots of the table pre-dinner. Guess we'll have to make that a goal for next year.


We have plenty to be thankful for this year. My Mother in Law got these great cups where you could write what you were thankful for. They ranged from "Family & Friends", power of prayer" to "Good Food". We are so thankful for all God has blessed us with -- even through this difficult year for our country, God has provided us so much and blessed us with wonderful family and friends to love, encourage & challenge us.


Here's a few pictures from Thanksgiving --
