Thanksgiving 2011 was a major success. We had dinner with Kathy and Bob on Wednesday night and it was beyond delish. From the beautiful china Kathy set on the table to the delicious yams we had a great time. The kids even put on a performance for us in the living room singing Christmas carols. I just wish I would have recorded it. It was priceless. They set up a stage with decorations.
Next up we headed to Swan Valley for a big dinner with everyone on Thursday. Uncle Casey and Aunt Wendy provided some gourmet turkey and side dishes. The funeral potatoes from Jamie's kitchen were so good. Everyone kept filling their plates with more and more. Madison made delish yams with molasses and the Trudy did not disappoint with some wonderful casseroles. Grama June whipped up some delicious pumpkin pies too!
All in all both dinners were picture perfect right out of a Norman Rockwell painting.
The truth be told...the food was outstanding...but the company is what made it all the better. My nephew, Henry chasing our kids around at Bob and Kathy's was priceless fun.
In Swan Valley all the cousins played in the snow, snowmobiled, and Carter and Gracelynn chased Lucy (whom they call Wucy) around and around and around. Laughing and giggling as loud as they could.
After that fun they sat down to play Barbies.
We have such much to be thankful for.
Happy Holidays! Now I can officially begin listening to Christmas music without any harassment.
