We had a fantastic Thanksgiving this year! It was nice to host the event at our new house for both sides of the family. We split up the food, making the work even better for me. Kevin smoked the turkey perfectly on the Green Egg. I made the homemade yeast rolls and sweet potato casserole. My mom prepared the cornbread dressing, broccoli/corn casserole, and pecan pies. Brenda made homemade noodles, cranberry sauce and pumpkin muffins. Ryan baked pumpkin pies. We pretty much covered the field. Although Suzy and I ran a 6 mile turkey trot that morning, after lunch, we walked the neighborhood to burn off more of our delicious meal. Thanks everyone for making the effort to celebrate Thanksgiving with us!

Kevin done smoking the turkey and ready to carve it.
My friend made these adorable plates for the kids.
We had the best place setting! Everyone could fit in one room! We love our big kitchen table!

Chase, Hutch and Trenton play outside before lunch.
They were so fun to watch.
The boys couldn't take their eyes off them when I tried to take a picture of my two. Hey, at least they are both looking up. :)

The kids ate nicely at thier table.
Bennett wanted to sit down at the kids' table instead of his high chair. Fine with us. He actually ate the best of any of them! He is a great eater! I hope I don't jinx it! Trenton used to be, but has settled in to the "kid" type of food routine in the recent year.
The dining room was used as the buffet to build your plate.
Chase and Bennett played while Trenton napped. They loved playing in the hats.
Bennett was in awe of Suzy playing peekaboo with him.
Bennett and Opa
Look about right? Full bellies lead to one thing.....naps! They skipped out on the nap to catch some zzz's.
Bennett kept PaPaw from falling asleep by taking on and off the knight helmet.

The kids and their handprint turkey crafts. They loved using the dot markers for the feathers and googly eyes on its face.
