Thanksgiving 2013

Thanksgiving 2013 - we have been SO blessed this year that it was easy to think of what we were thankful for - EVERYTHING!!
 
This year we were all together once again as last year the Savages' weren't with us for our meal - it's always fun hanging out in Jaime's huge kitchen to watch everyone help with dinner!
 
These two little ones were sitting at the table long before our meal was even ready!!  Check out the cute place cards that Evan and Kenzie made!

We even had time to sit and relax in between preparing dishes!

Brad and Jaime cooked 2 turkeys this year -  Brad would cook them in the smoker first and then finish them in the oven!  Yes, it took 3 guys to handle this!

I had to capture a picture of Robby mashing potatoes because I don't think he has ever helped with Thanksgiving dinner before!!  Well maybe...........  Anyway, it's always nice to have the guys help out!!

All day long people were "photo bombing" pictures!!  Looks like Jaime got in on this one!!

Thanksgiving dinner was delicious:  turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, crockpot stuffing, fresh green bean casserole, corn pudding, relish tray, rolls, sweet potatoes, orange juice jello salad, cranberries, pumpkin pie, apple pie and key lime pie!!  Yes, we all got full!

Jaime's cat Cica always has to make an appearance at the table - this year she chose Jessi to stare at!

After lunch and a trip to the park, I set the kids all down to do turkey stickers - they all seem to be concentrating!

Parker loved putting the stickers on!

It was a great day spent with the kids and grand kids!!
