We had a pretty calm Thanksgiving this year. Origionally we had planned on having a number of others over but plans were changed the last minute so it was pretty much who we usually have, us 'White' siblings in the area and significant others. Turkey was had, I counted and we combined ate more than 9 can's of olives, we tried a new bakery for our pies and they were amazing. Over all it was a great, calm day.
For Thanksgiving I'm of the philosophy that we shouldn't make it harder than we need to so we divide things up so no one ends up having to make up everything. Jason does the turkey, I do the potatoes and stuffing and set up, Isaac brings rolls, Scarlett does a great fruit salad, Jared does a mean sweet potato and mom and gram get the pies.
This year I talked to the boys and asked what they wanted to do and we came up with ants on a log despite the fact they didn't really know what they were. So we tried it out and turn's out they're quite good at it and find it pretty tasty.
Tada!
Yeah, they were pretty good.
Also earlier in the week the boys and I made up some table decorations which the boys could barely keep their hands off.
Fly turkey fly!
Then all we needed was a little break before everything was ready.
Everyone, despite having consumed ridiculous amounts of olives, had their fill.
They even fought over the drumstick.
The boys and I also made this little guys. They actually turned out pretty cute.
The aftermath.
Later that evening we headed off for yet another big meal at my dads house which was followed up by beginning the holiday season with some gingerbread men.
