Thanksgiving 2015

When Autumn & I got home last night she showered and had me put her hair in curlers so she could have bouncy curls for the party today. I got up and made some homemade caramel sauce and homemade whipped cream. We went over to Nate & Riannon’s to get some folding chairs and then went to Tyler & Emily’s. We had to get a picture of the grandkids (Olivia wasn’t here yet) for Papa & Mimi.

It was supposed to rain a lot today, but it held off until the evening which was so nice so the kids could run around outside and play. They had a fun game of football going on.

We ate around 12:45. Here’s the kids table.

The adult/teenager table.

After we were all stuffed, we turned on the football games and congregated in the living room.

Adam & Olivia LOVED climbing all over Uncle Robert b/c he looks a lot like Papa. He was so cute w/ them.

Adam cracked us all up when he went and got his booster seat and sat it right up next to the TV as close a she could get it. He’s serious about football!

Everyone was excited when it was time to bust out the pies. As you can see, we had a lot of pies to choose from. I got a small sliver of pecan, chocolate (super decadent), key lime, and coconut. YUM!

I’m glad I made everyone come together so we could get a group picture before we all took off around 5:30. I have so much love for each person in this picture. It’s so neat to see there were over 30 of us there, and that this is just a fraction of how big our extended family is. We missed those that weren’t here (especially Mom & Dad … but we did get to FaceTime w/ them).

We had to get a silly picture since we’re such a wild and crazy bunch. We went back to Nate & Riannon’s house and watched How The Grinch Stole Christmas and had butterhorn roll sandwiches for dinner. It was such a fabulous Thanksgiving that was spent w/ family, friends, fun, and good food! I’m such a lucky lady.
