My cousin Nicole left a party to come over and give baby girl some snuggles, and desert.
Thanksgiving morning I woke up, cooked some bacon mac and cheese, and we packed up and got in the car to head further south to my grandparents house for Thanksgiving. We had lots of good food, Dravyn got an early Christmas gift, and played with my cousin Summers horse. I missed all the really great shots of her laying on the horse to give it a hug, but it was OK, because I got to see them in person. She really loves that horse.
I took some pictures of my cousin Summer for my aunt and uncle, and had a great time seeing my family. It was nice to see everyone, and to have the chance to tease my brother.
Friday we had Thanksgiving number two back at the house with Kevin's parents. The dishes were set up like something out of a magazine and I ate my weight in corn casserole. I can not even tell you how excited I was for that meal. Kevin and I brined the turkey (our first experience doing so), and it was really good. He was my hero for pulling out it's innards, and my mother in law was my hero for cooking it, I do not look forward to the day when that is my responsibility.
Dravyn dug in, but mostly ate Hawaiian sweet rolls, she shares her mothers love of carbs, the poor girl.
We decorated the tree the next day, with what seems like 1 million ornaments when you are putting it up.
My favorite part of having a Christmas tree up is the beautiful patterns the lights make on the walls.
This morning we finished the sugar cookies we started last night, and enjoyed the morning together. It was a great start to the holiday season, and I can't wait for the rest of it. This year is going to finish with flair I think.
