Thanksgiving




They wanted me to make sure we got a close up of "Tom the Turkey."


The kids pretending to 'get' the Thanksgiving Turkey. :)


We had a great Thanksgiving! Before we went to dinner, the kids and I made some Oreo turkeys to bring to everyone. The dinner was great. We were in charge of mashed potatoes, and we peeled 25 pounds of potatoes. (Well Matt peeled, while I made Oreo turkeys.) We WAY over estimated- because we had TONS of leftover potatoes. We had it at Matt's sister's house. I think there were over 30 people. Everyone, except Matt's youngest brother and his wife were there. They live in DC, so weren't able to come. We had a great visit with everyone. I was able to cuddle with my newest niece Aubrey. She is 6 days old and so tiny and adorable! I didn't bring my camera- so I didn't get pictures of any of our happenings- or the cute kids. After dinner the older kids went to the park and played football, and those of us with the younger kids hung out at the house and talked. We have such an awesome family. I love all of Matt's brothers/sisters/parents and the in-laws.

Hi. I hopped over here from A Daily Scoop.
Those are darling little turkeys! A cute idea I will have to do next year.
