Like most years we were lucky enough to have two Thanksgiving feasts, the kicker this year was that I made one of those feasts myself (yikes)!!! I have made Thanksgiving dinner one other time but on a much smaller scale, this year I went for it and went all out! I even got out my great grandmothers china and everything (only broke one bowl too :) Luckily Mayme loves to clean and was a huge help with the cleanup (my least favorite part) and since I am pretty sure I used every dish in my kitchen it was much appreciated (thanks Mayme)! Everything turned out great and I was pretty proud of myself until I tasted the smorgasbord of yumminess my Mom prepared later in the weekend. Let's just say I have a lot to learn! First thing on my list is her bourbon gravy - seriously the most amazing gravy I have ever tasted, could have eaten it like soup :)
Anyway, here are the pictures from our fun Thanksgiving weekend!

| My homemade place cards for the table! |
 |
I was so excited, I had the table set like 4 days
ahead of time (actually saved a lot of work the day of) |
 |
| Kiddie table :) |
 |
Cheers!!
It is just juice, and yes, my kids are eating chicken nuggets and
french fries on Thanksgiving, not proud but not worth the fight either. |

For whatever reason, Noah woke up Friday morning and
was on a mission to make cupcakes. In all the
Thanksgiving craziness, Nonnie took time to help Noah
make his cupcakes! Thanks Nonnie! |
 |
| So excited for his cupcakes! |
 |
Taking a break with daddy! He kept climbing up on the couch
to snuggle with Ryan all weekend, so sweet! |
 |
| Noah's cupcake, he wanted frosting, candy, sprinkles and chocolate... |
 |
| Nothing like a little sugar before bed! |
 |
| What the heck, thrown on a few more M & M's :) |
 |
| Go Ducks!!!! |
 |
| The weekend would not be complete without at least one self portrait! |
 |
| Looks like trouble... |
 |
Oh, it is just the candy guy! Noah still has
his Halloween candy and takes a little bit
everywhere to share with everyone! Seriously
how sweet is this little guy!
(Silas might have a different view :) |
 |
| Thanks for the smooches Aunt Erika! |
 |
After taking family pictures Silas wanted to stand
on the stairs by himself to have more pictures
taken of just him... |
 |
Grandma & Grandpa settling in to watch Christmas Vacation!
It's our family tradition to watch that movie every year on Thanksgiving! |
 |
| TROUBLE!!! |
