Happy Thanksgiving!!! (and I am going to brag a bit)

Cheeseball...playing with the bucket that I bryned the turkey in.

Ummm yeah do you think they are related?

My attempt at a table scape;)

"I'm ready to eat mom!"

The Margaret's

Oma and Opa time

Yum! Pumpkin pie (which she loved of course!)

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! I don't even really know why but I just love the food and sitting around with family. For the last couple of years I have cooked because I just love cooking and I feel that Chris' parents have put their time in over the years so they should just enjoy a day off. Also, they will play with the kids and keep them out of our hair while Chris and I cook! (It's a win win!) Anyway, I have always had a pretty good meal with a few improvements here and there but this year I have to say that I had a close to perfect meal! The turkey was moist, the potatoes were hot, the gravy was just thick enough and I actually homemade a pumpkin pie that turned out pretty darn good! Anyway, enough bragging but I am just happy that my favorite holiday turned out to be a good one: good food, good family and relaxing! It

was Maggie's first Thanksgiving and she loved it! I am not sure where Matthew came from because this is the first year that he has even touched the turkey. Maggie ate two platefuls!!!! Now that's my girl;)
