Thanksgiving pics....

I didn't take very many pictures on Thanksgiving......can you believe it?

but, I did get at least one of  Josh, the kids and I.

Tatum was very excited that she got to wear her Christmas dress!

( she choose the bench to sit on to get her picture taken)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.

I hope you all have a happy and safe holiday!

I am thankful for my beautiful children and my wonderful husband.

All the wonderful family and friends we have to spend this day with and all the wonderful food that we are so lucky to have.

Thanksgiving meal

 Have you cooked your own Thanksgiving meal?

Usually we go to Josh's parents house for Thanksgiving.

There is always lots of people and good food!

Everyone brings a dish, Josh's parents cook the bird, which is always so good.

I have cooked one meal.

In 2005, we lived in Virginia.

As you can see from the picture above, we had turkey, stuffing, gravy, mash potatoes,green bean casserole and more.

That's little Petey with his hands in the turkey and little Vanny before his glasses.

Basic stuff. At that time I didn't really know what I was doing. I am a better cook now.

I would have chosen some different dishes.

My favorite part of Thanksgiving Dinner is pumpkin pie or even better.......pumpkin rolls!

I always make sure I save room for dessert.

How about you?

What is your favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner?

our Trip to South Bend.....

 Before the game, we walked around campus.
