Thanksgiving Day 2010

We spent Thanksgiving in our home again this year. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and I love entertaining and having family join us. Thank you to everyone who traveled and came to spend time with us!

Kennedy helping me prepare a festive holiday punch
Our traditional Turduckhen
Pop-A-Lops carving our bird(s)
Our fantastic dessert table included a Pear & Apple Buttery Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Meringue (splg?) Pie, and a Chocolate Pecan Cheesecake - all of it was super yummy!
I was so impressed when Belle (aka Reagan) volunteered to write everyone's name out on their place cards. I can't believe how big she is getting!
Jackson loving his special time with Grammy! :)
Smiley Jackson getting entertained (and entertaining) Great Aunt Jolene

Getting some good love and attention from Aunt Dorothy
Sweet cousins (and best friends) :)
Reagan loves Heidi sooooooo much!!!
Our Thanksgiving Feast and Family - Thank you to everyone for all you brought! I still feel like a bum over how little cooking I actually did for this meal! You all did an awesome job!
Daddy and Kennedy going back...
and forth
Happy Heidi with her Grandpa (Great Uncle David)
Happy Kennedy enjoying dessert with Pop-A-Lops! lol :)
I'm not sure what the thumbs up was about (maybe that we were eating dessert for supper?!?!?) but I love this picture in comparison to the one I took of them earlier in the day. They are derobed because they were busy playing dress up in various princess and fairy costumes all afternoon which is a favorite past time of theirs.
One of our family traditions is to watch one of our favorite holiday movies "The Polar Express" Thanksgiving evening. We drink hot chocolate and enjoy the movie together as a family before bed.

Grammy leading the crew in a sing-a-long while waiting for the hot chocolate to be made and the movie to begin
Aunt Jolene chasing Holden up the stairs before the movie
Pop-A-Lops not only carved the Turduckhen but also made his delicious hot coco for everyone to enjoy during the movie.
Three sweet girls ready with their popcorn, caramel corn (especially made by Grammy - I think this is going to need to be added to our tradition!) and hot chocolate to watch "The Polar Express" and officially kick off our Christmas season and festivities
Our three sweet kiddos who we are so thankful for every day! Love you! :)
Thank you to our family who made our day so special by sharing it and our family traditions with us! We are so thankful for all the special people in our lives this Thanksgiving Day! :)
