Thanksgiving

We have finally completed all of our first holidays as a family.  Last year Chris, grandpa and I were in China eating KFC with friends for Thanksgiving.  The next day I ended up so sick from that dinner.  I don't think I have ever been so sick in my life.

This year we had our traditional Thanksgiving feast at our house with Grandma, Grandpa and my brothers.  We were really missing Aunt Sue this year.  She was unable to make it so we were one person short.  Love ya Aunt Sue.

 The kids made everyone a turkey napkin ring.  The tail feathers are their hands traced in different colors.

I of course was taking the pictures and forgot to have someone take a picture of me.  My brother Rich disappeared before we started taking pictures and I forgot to get him later.  I am just glad I remembered to take some at all.  Tim and I are getting really good at preparing Thanksgiving.  I make the same thing every year and have a schedule that we follow.  It makes things run so smoothly.  It was a really nice and surprisingly relaxing day.  Although my husband Mr Incredible might disagree.  He is nothing short of amazing.  He washed dishes and pots and pans as I used them.  They were always ready when I needed them for the next thing.  I know I could never pull this off without him.  It is truly a team effort.  We hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well.
