Thanksgiving

We had Thanksgiving at Jesse's parents' house this year. His side of the family is much smaller than mine, so it was nice to enjoy a quieter and more relaxing Thanksgiving. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love going to Idaho every other year and feasting with about 80 people all crammed into my Grandma's house. It's fun and exciting, especially when all the women crowd the kitchen to make their black friday 'game plan'! But I think it overwhelms Jesse and the kids, so it's nice to have a smaller Thanksgiving every other year. When I say smaller, I mean less people. There was enough food to feed an army, and there were so many pies that everyone could have had a whole one to themselves!

Jayce helped me and Erica sort through all the ads

After dinner we watched movies while Jack and Grandma made a gingerbread train,

and Jayce and Erica made a gingerbread house. Jayci would mostly just walk around the table to find candy that wasn't being watched, and run away with it.

Here's the finished product.

We are so blessed! It's wonderful to have a day to spend with family and enjoy fabulous food and just reflect on how fortunate and rich in blessings we truly are!
