thanksgiving

This was our very first Thanksgiving as a family where we didn't travel anywhere or go to a friend's house to spend the day. We stayed home and had a very mellow and very low key dinner and it was actually quite nice and relaxing.

We started our morning off by eating our favorite Wayne's french toast and then planted ourselves on the comfy couches to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. To my surprise the kids actually enjoyed it(when the big balloons were on) and they got super excited when they saw spiderman, mickey mouse and snoopy!

I spent most of the morning baking yummy desserts and treats for us and a few friends to enjoy. The pumpkin bars were especially delicious! :)

  And while I cooked our yummy dinner I had a few helpers in the kitchen to keep me company. 

Our little Oliver is getting so big! 13 pounds to be exact! 

Love watching these two bond! 

  Look who found his thumb! He doesn't suck it all the time and actually prefers his binkie over it, but every now and then you can find him like this! pretty cute!

  And like I said, it was really low key. So we pretty much stayed in sweats and pj's for the day. 

I cooked a turkey breast that had the bones still in and made two kinds of potatoes, roasted squash, cornbread stuffing, rolls and salad. Nothing special but still yummy. 

  And after dinner, Sabrina entertained me by coloring and singing while I cleaned up the kitchen. 

Coloring is Sabrina's new favorite thing and she will color for hours. I love watching her because she gets so serious about it. Maybe she will take after me? :) 

  We really did enjoy our little holiday, but nothing beats celebrating and spending time with family. Looking forward to Christmas when we travel to Denver. Hope you all had a wonderful holiday too!!
