Oh…are they hugging? How cute!
Guess not. Kids!
We went to my mom's house for Thanksgiving. It was decided to have dinner earlier this year (2:00) so that we could hang out and play games after. My birthday also landed on Thanksgiving this year. It always makes things more interesting when my birthday and Thanksgiving share a day. I woke up and started finishing up the cooking I had left. I had stayed up late the night before to finish a cheesecake and just had green beans to cook and help Cirdan with the stuffing. The kids had balloons for me and cards when I came downstairs.
Thanksgiving dinner was yummy. We had a few sicknesses that happened (blog to follow) but overall it was a nice evening. Ava came into town the Tuesday so she was there. Kaylee and Rusty also came into town. Amy's parents were also there celebrating with us (Amy had her baby a couple weeks ago). My parents exchange student who moved out about a month ago also wanted to come celebrate with us. Gram was there and the missionaries too.
Since I was sick last year and threw up everything that I ate on Thanksgiving I haven't really ate any mashed potatoes or turkey since then. It still wasn't as good as I had remembered but maybe one of these years my tummy will like that food again like it once did.
Kaylee and I had a cheesecake contest. The vote came down to Nathan who ended up voting for mine….since I bullied him to vote for me since it was my birthday. I tasted Kaylee's though and hers was amazing! I made a regular one but also made homemade strawberry syrup and whip cream. Kaylee made a pumpkin with pecans.
Kaiya wasn't feeling well.
At least I got 1 smile out of her
Ella also with a fever
Cirdan ended up taking Ella and the boys home early and I stayed and played games for a bit with the family. They sang happy birthday to me while we were playing games. It really just felt like any other day!
