Today I cooked my first Thanksgiving dinner--and it was GOOD! I should say that Blake and I made our first Thanksgiving dinner because we were a team. My parents and brother came, and we had a very nice little Thanksgiving together.

Georgia ate enthusiastically.


Nate ate an unbelievable amount of sweet potatoes.

Lucas was stuck in traffic and running late, and we were totally going to eat without him, but he got there just in time. :)

Here is proof that sometimes my children play together like little angels.

Thanksgiving aftermath. I take this as a compliment.

Georgia ate her chocolate cake even more enthusiastically than her turkey.

She loves her brand new hot pink Christmas tree.

 And we had lots of quality play time with Granna and Pops.

And Uncle Lucas.

The last couple of weeks have been stressful and uncertain and just a little nutty, but tonight, our bellies are full, the kids are sleeping soundly, and we're just sitting in the glow of the Christmas tree(s) thinking about our good day. I'm thankful. Happy Thanksgiving.
