It is not happy people who are thankful, it is thankful people who are happy!

This year we did Thanksgiving at Grandma Wendy's and Grandpa Rusty's.  My Aunt Lori came up from California to celebrate.  Thankfully she is an amazing cook and so she baked pies and all goodies for us.  With my Grandma Louise here too it was just about the largest family get together my side of the family can have (since the others don't multiply and replenish the earth quite like I do).

Aunt Lori, Grandma Louise, my mom Wendy.

So happy.

 Aunt Lori and Eve were best friends the whole time. 

Aunt Lori even did Eve's hair- which made Eve super happy because I am just not talented in that department and she really deserves a mom that can keep up with all her girly desires.  My fingers can't seem to figure out how to control more than one strand at a time. 

Evidently Aunt Lori is so good at the braids because she does her horses' manes all the time.

The ladies get stuck slaving away in the kitchen.

Proof that my adorable apron was not just for show.  I actually did help out.  And my mashed sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top were delicious! (Even if I am the only one who thought so).

Sometimes Jack's love can be a little overwhelming.

 

 

Mmmmmm.... turkey.  Kole almost made me cook our own additional turkey just so we would have leftovers.  Thankfully there was more than enough turkey to last for a couple days after.

We let Eve set the table...

Perfect.

So blessed to live in such a beautiful place- surrounded by family and friends... and a good meal on top of that.  Happy Thanksgiving.
