Thanksgiving 2012

 Cullen was obsessed with Dax's little Lightening McQueen car the whole night long.  It was battery operated and scooted around the house pretty dang good.  Might have to get one of those.....

 Some of our delicious feast....I brought Green Bean Casserol (turned out fine), biscuits (the super yummy 7UP biscuits because I didn't leave enough time for rolls the day before), and custard pie (ruined....but tasted good.....I decided to use a new custard pie recipe off of pinterest thinking it sounded quicker but, it was awful.  Just awful.  More like a german pancake, which would have been fine, if that is what I was going for but, I wasn't...I was going for fricking yummy and delicious custard pie and this recipe ruined my thanksgiving pie experience. ugh).   But, everything else was super!! The turkey was superb!!

 Jeremy and Cedric (obviously)


 Okay, this is hilarious!!  This picture captures the emotions of it all perfectly!! LMAO!!  So, we had all just found out that Sue was preggers again and we walked into the kitchen to set the food out to eat.  Karina is smiling at the new baby news, Susan is scowling, and I am behind the camera laughing!!  So funny!  We were talking about how she had gotten rid of all her brand new stuff she got when she had Dax three years ago.  And about how old she would be when the kids were all gone......ah, you had to be there but it was so stinking funny!

I caught little miss Eden McFroo stealing my soda!!  Oh, she is sneaky alright!




Okay, so I will have to post some video of this event in order for the pics to make any sense.  When we first got there Taylor and Nick were doing this cup game/beat thing.  I remembered doing something similar when I was a teenager and loving it!  So, we sat down and I taught them my version.  WE had SO MUCH FUN!  I was full on sweating when we were done! haha!



Us actually playing the cup game...we didn't really follow the rules per se' but...whatever, rules schmools.





This was not blurry when I took it, I swear.
We ate, played games, talked, watched football, played outside too (the weather was pleasant) and made new memories!  On the way home, we introduced the kids to our new Elf on a Shelf.  More about that in later posts.

We had a great time again this year!! I love Thanksgiving!! We have much to be Thankful for this year. We have been receiving blessing all through out the year and this year has really turned out to be "Our Year".  It is a welcome gift to have prayers answered in the way God sees fit.
