Thanksgiving

This year, since my parents don't live nearby and Mr. J., Sr.'s parents were out of town, we decided to forgo the hours of toiling that go along with preparing a feast and instead went out to dinner. We met Uncle J. and Auntie C., cousin C., cousin Owie, Uncle E. and Auntie Teecee, D-ha, and Uncle D at a local buffet style restaurant. We figured it would be the best option for our hungry little munchkins b/c they wouldn't have to wait too long, they could eat whatever they wanted, and pick their own desserts. We had a great time celebrating all that we are thankful for with family. In the evening, the same crew listed above, as well as Auntie A. and Dunk, and Auntie C. and Uncle K. joined us for crafts, snacks, cookie decorating and visiting, of course. It was a very fun day filled with spending time with those we love.

Mr. J. and Miss M. helped me bake pumpkin pies. Here, they proudly display the finished products.
