Thanksgiving

We decided to do something a little different for Thanksgiving this year. Since we'd just had a big thanksgiving dinner a few days before with friends, we decided to try something new! Every person got to pick something they wanted to eat for Thanksgiving, and it worked out really well for the whole day! Here's how it all worked out

William- coffee cake for breakfast
Adam- Goldfish and Oreos for a snack
Mom- Sausage bread and sausage dip for lunch
Dad- Bacon cheeseburgers for dinner 
Jenna- Strawberry pretzel jello dessert

I got pictures of everyone with their chosen dish except for Jenna. Darn it!

After breakfast we started the day right with a Mario-cart tournament on the Wii! It was a lot of fun, and nobody was surprised when Will came in first in that tournament. :)

Adrienne was also able to join us, and we were so happy! She was only able to stay for two days, but it was great to have her here for our non-traditional Thanksgiving.




That was Will's genuine reaction to seeing the tray of food. :) The snacks went pretty quickly; luckily we had plenty of fruit to snack on as well!





Adrienne and Jenna put together our lovely platters for lunch. Not pictured is the sausage dip we dipped those delicious veggies into.

After lunch the kids played Life with Adrienne while I made the dessert for later, and Joel watched football.

The burgers were so yummy! Joel did an amazing job. We also had homemade potato chips. Yum!


After dinner we watched a movie and somehow found room for dessert. It was a really fun day, and hopefully something the kids will remember for a long time.
