I'm so Thankful this Year, I had Another Thanksgiving!!!

Saturday, I made Thanksgiving dinner for my brother Charles and his family, my mom, and Erin and Jed. This year, I brined a Turkey. It was quite intimidating, but it turned out so, so good. Erin took Natalie to the Park earlier in the day and then to Lompoc to see Jed's family so, I was able to get lots done without any "mimi where are you" interruptions. The pictures are a bit out of order, but you'll get the gist.

My beautiful Mom and Natalie's beautiful mom!!!



My mom came early and peeled all my potatoes for me, "Thanks Mom." I love visiting with my mom, it's like talking with a girlfriend, which is the best of both worlds

Look at these two in their Christmas PJs. Sooo Cute


it was Pass the Potatoes, Pass the Gravy and Pass Baby Noah around... Here he is with Steve...



Then Garrett.......

Then Charles.......

Then Lucas........

Then Grandpa Mark. He is quite the little charmer and absolutely loves to be held. He was a happy camper!

This is my husband's plate... He was watching his carb intake.. Not...



Jed and my Brother Charles


Charles and Family. Lucas is a professional dancer and we got to watch him on The Ellen De Generes Variety Show on TBS while he was here. It was quite impressive!!


How blessed I feel that I got to be with both of my families this year. Erin and Jed left this morning, and I'm pooped. I spent the day with my BFF, Toni, helping her with things for our upcoming Bonco Christmas Party. I watched two Christmas movies and I think I may just be in the mode now!!
Before Erin left today, she told me that True Bloggers keep up their blogs regularly. You make it a "priority" is what I think she said. I guess if she can do it while Natalie is on her lap and Noah is breastfeeding, I have no excuse...
Until next time....
