When we purchased Trent's family home we missed the fine print: "family gatherings will always be held in this house"! So in order to honor the agreement we hosted our first Thanksgiving! I'm not going to lie I was very nervous about taking on such a huge responsibility! There is a lot of pressure in providing such a monumental feast...especially when the guests have high standards based on previous experience! Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays...food and family what could be better! But I love going to other peoples home! Fortunately, Trent's dad offered to help us with the Turkey and I am a good delegator so all the guests brought a portion of the meal. It ended up being a great day and everything turned out surprisingly well! This was also Laura's first Thanksgiving so it was an extra special day!
Grandpa Dan is a great teacher! Love watching these men in the kitchen! |
Trent made a top for the pool table! It was the perfect setting for our 20+ guests! |
Brendan is getting way to big way to fast! |
Anna and Miss Maddie! |
Maddie and Laura got them honor of breaking the wishbone...Laura got the bigger piece! Hope she made a good wish! |
I found the turkey crayon holder idea here...the kids loved decorating their place settings! |
We love our cousins |
The very best thing about Thanksgiving weekend..the ASU vs UofA game! |
Laura's first ASU game and the best one of the year...and we won!!!!! |
