Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! I can't believe how fast this holiday came and went! This year was a first for us...we spent the holiday alone! While we love having a full house for any holiday, it was kind of nice to be able to focus on each other this year...and to realize that we could actually pull it off all by ourselves!

Last night it actually rained! It felt like fall believe it or not! So, I picked up a fire log and we took advantage of the seasonal weather! Shane read the kids, "The Night Before Thanksgiving" before they went to bed!
I on the other hand, was in the kitchen cooking away! Don't I look like I'm having fun! (Believe it or not...I actually LOVE to cook!)
Rylie and I started out the morning by watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!
Then she and Shane had scooter races up and down the street!
Of course, no Thanksgiving would be complete without making gumdrop turkeys!

Mason took this of us as we sat down to dinner!

I think Mason likes what he sees!

Parker was pretty hungry too!

Rylie's exact words were, "finally"!

Our annual Thanksgiving Toast!

Around 6:00 Rylie came up to me and said, "get going on the pumpkin pie already"! So...here we are getting the whip cream ready!

And here she is...FINALLY eating her pie! She waited all day for this moment!

I love this holiday...and the opportunity it gives me to take the time to remember all of the many things and people I am grateful for in my life...and there are LOTS of them!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
