I LOVE Thanksgiving!!
I love gathering with our families; I love taking time to reflect on all the things we are so grateful for; and I love the food!
This was Baby Beau’s 1st Thanksgiving, and thankfully I found our “My First Thanksgiving” onsies.
You know what they say…Full hands, full heart!
I’m pretty sure the rolls were the boys’ favorite thing to eat.
We usually do the Thanksgiving get togethers with both sides of the family on the same day. It’s a lot, but the boys are troopers and usually the littles take a nap on the hour drive up.
We are so grateful for all of the sweet cousins on both sides the boys get to play with. Some of my favorite memories growing up are from family get togethers with all of our cousins. (I come from a HUMONGOUS family!) I am so glad they’ll get to have the same experience. Nothing like the laughter of sweet kiddos filling a house to make a holiday extra special!
This year we made some type of apple cranberry salad (and for the record, I’m pretty sure me and my mom are the only ones who ate any) and a homemade pumpkin pie. Like, from scratch. Jase was SO pumped to help me! He heard about pumpkin pie from his Cubbies cd and he’d been talking about it for weeks before. Mom helped him plant seeds in the backyard,then dropped some little pumpkins in the yard a week or so later. It was so cute watching him tell everyone about it. Hopefully we aren’t setting him up for unrealistic expectations in the future of gardening! Ha! (Everyone loved the pumpkin pie, by the way. Way bigger hit than the salad.)
One of these years I’m going to have to learn to make the turkey…
