Thanksgiving

I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving day! We sure did. We started the day by watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, something I have done every single year since I can remember. LOVE IT! Then, since both of our families live here, we got to spend some time with each. We began our feasting by meeting Adam's family at SAC for a yummy traditional Thanksgiving meal. Adam's grandparents were able to come down and it was so good to see them. He has such a sweet family- I am very blessed to have married into such great bunch of people! Then we headed over to my parents to have another traditional meal. Bring on the turkey! It never gets old. It was so nice to be surrounded by friends and family all day! I think there were 26 people at mom and dad's this year-pretty normal for us. The more the merrier!

Oh hey- guess what? I made my very first pie completely from scratch, even the crust (with the help of my friend Meagan)! It actually turned out pretty good

Mmmm... It had a cream cheese layer, a pumpkin layer, and the top was sprinkled with a mixture of pecans, brown sugar, chocolate chips, and maple syrup! Yum! Thanks Bakerella!

What a great day! Hey, can you believe there's only a few more weeks till Christmas? Yikes, better start my shopping...
