A day for giving thanks!

I love Thanksgiving! It is one of my favorite holidays and this year was no exception. It was so great. Brent and Krissi and their kids spent the night at our house on Wednesday and we had a blast. We talked, we laughed, we cooked, we ate, we stayed up late (adults until 2 a.m., kids until 4 a.m.), we cooked some more, we laughed some more, we ate some more........
Great food, great times and great memories!


Wednesday night, Brent and Krissi made exactly 96 rolls.
And they were delicious!
Kevin and Andrew made a yummy banana pudding

Doesn't that turkey look good enough to eat?
And the kids aren't bad looking either.
We cooked the turkey in the roaster this year to save
the oven for the other dishes. It turned out so juicy.



Everyone ready to dig in.
After all the preparation time, I told everyone that they had to take more than 10 minutes to eat. They all did a good job; it took at least 30 minutes. And that didn't include pie time.



Here come the after feast pictures:

Brent and Krissi checking out the Black Friday ads



Alex, Henry, Megan, and Holly hanging out watching a movie
(the picture turned out kind of blurry.)



Andrew, Zaron, and Kevin watching the Cowboys game



Hopefully I don't get killed for posting the next three pictures. I couldn't resist.


Brent resting from his hard labors


Samantha catching a few zzzzs.

Thanks guys for the yummy food and the fun times!!

Why is it that you can post pictures of Brent and he doesn't get all grumpy? Where as I get in all kinds of trouble. Oh well, we had lots of fun. Thanks for inviting us the food was very yummy. The pies were plentiful. I'm still full! I think I will quit asking for pies for a while.:)Sam is looking forward to her birthday we will have to figure that out and Christmas. Talk to you soon.

What a fun Thanksgiving! Your Mom told me about how you cooked your turkey! You've come a long way since our U of U Thanksgiving! You'll have to teach me how to do the brine thing! (I don't know how you spell it). Anyway, did you all go Black Friday Shopping? Looks like you all had a ton of fun!
