Thankful

For Thanksgiving this year we decided to have 15 of our friends and 8 of their children over for dinner.  The day before I was questioning my sanity but it ended up being such a great Holiday. And I’m pretty lucky to have a husband who likes to cook Thanksgiving dinner and loves to host Thanksgiving as much as I do.  And he looks pretty good doing it!  He made the Turkey, gravy, stuffing and pecan pie all of which were delicious.

Our building has table and chairs you can rent for a grand total cost of 6 bucks! It was so nice being able to fit everyone at one table. I meant to take some pictures of the food and the tables before everyone arrived, but of course I napped for an hour instead and when I woke up I had to rush to get ready. Oh well.  Here is the one I took of the table.  I had no tableclothes big enough for this table set for 20 so I had to hodgepodge something.  Not the greatest but when it was covered with food noone noticed.

Even better – the dessert table.  Mmmm, Randy made his pecan pie and all the other desserts people brought.

Guess who was also here for Thanksgiving!

Grandma Yuyu! She flew in Wednesday night and is here visiting for two weeks.

Here are all the kids, who were great.  They played so well together the entire time.  They all sat on the couch for a good 20 minutes while we took a million pictures of their cute faces.
  

We also took one of all the ladies.  The boys opted out of a posed prom picture but I think the ladies look pretty great.  Adam insisted on being in this shot with us.

Here’s my friend Jenny who is due with her second girl any day now, yet she still insisted on making and bringing a delicious sweet potato dish, two pumpkin pies and homemade cranberries!

I have been loving the holidays with Adam.  He understands so much and gets so excited about things! We had some candles lit at dinner that we have been lighting for dinners since Thanksgiving and Adam LOVES it.  He gets super excited and loves blowing them out.  Practice for his birthday cake in a couple of days!

I have so much to be thankful for this year.   Amazing friends and family, those back at home, those visiting and those that we’ve been lucky enough to already meet here.  A beautiful, healthy, funny almost two year old, a wonderful loving husband and a little baby who will be here in just 13 weeks!
