Thanksgiving Moments

We had so much fun with the Leland's & Moss' over for the day. The kids had their own table in the foyer next to the dining room - so we could keep an eye on any shenanigans!

Here's a shot Marisa took of her place setting -

I love her viewpoint in photos

Pumpkin pies - the staple of the Thanksgiving dinner!

This was a new recipe I tried with a gingersnap layer and pecan streusel on the top - so yummy that it will now be served every year in our house!

Unfortunately this is the only picture of the bird (the back end!). He was a big 22 pounder and so yummy - he sat in a brine for 24 hours which I'm sure was enjoyable :o)

Trick-or-Treating

This was our very first year that all the kids went with separate friends. We took Tess around our neighborhood with her friends. Ryan & Marisa both went with a bunch of their good friends in a different neighborhood. It was strange just having our one little trick-or-treater - but she was really cute!
