Can I just mention how much I love Thanksgiving? I mean love. I love the food. I love spending the time with my family. Did I mention the food? This being John Henry's very 1st Thanksgiving and all made it that much more special! Everyone came over to our house for an early dinner. By the time we were done, my mom and I had to peel ourselves off of the kitchen table. I tried my hand this year at some new things.. I made cinnamon butter than I got from Little Baby Garvin, one of my fave blogs, I tried again to make crock pot green beans, and they came out amazing! I was so thrilled with the outcome! And last year John said that he liked "my moms" (really my step dads) mac & cheese better, but this year did I show him! I made the mac and cheese and it was so good! I was amazed!
And did I mention it snowed on Wednesday? If this is a sign of what's to come. I'm not happy!
A childhood friend of mine runs her own screen-printing business and she makes all sorts of festive shirts for the holidays. I bought one for me and the babes to match. Of course trying to get a picture of all of us wearing the matching shirts together, just wasn't in the cards. So I did manage to get one of each of the kids wearing theirs! I can't wait to buy the Christmas shirts for the boys and try again!
And John Henry wore baby jeans for the very 1st time! He is so stinking cute!

Thanksgiving was a success yet again this year! Glad we were able to spend the time with our family. I had to work Thanksgiving day and pretty much the entire Black Friday weekend. So needless to say right now I am damn tired! I'm hoping that next year I will be able to spend the entire day with my family. Jaiden was hopping from grandma to grandma while John Henry kept John entertained and pretty busy for the weekend. And looks like little mister is about to have a second tooth break through the gums. Wahh.
Now it's officially 25 days until Christmas. Ready for non stop working, holiday parties, baking parties and gingerbread making parties for the win.
Happy Holidays!
