Minus the Paynters and Bethany and Cody this year, Thanksgiving was smaller than our typical Sunday dinner.
 |
| Our group was so small that we all fit around one table in the living room. It was a quieter Thanksgiving than we are used to. Look at how somber everyone looks. And it appears I caught Michaela in a weird moment... |
 |
What happens when Julie and I are in charge is that we eliminate all unnecessary food items and strip it down to the basics. Not a lot of variety but still lots of deliciousness.
|
 |
Except for pie. All kinds of pie is always necessary.
|
 |
| Don't you just love catching people mid-bite? (Sorry for the second awkward photo Michaela). |
|
 |
| Though his eating skills are a bit cavemanesque... |
|
 |
| ... Elijah's pie making skills are top notch. This Peanut Butter Oreo pie was to die for. Seriously. |
|
|
 |
| And speaking of pie making skills, I recreated Janis' Sweet Potato Pie all by myself to perfection. Well, maybe not perfection but it was dang delicious. |
 |
| And after all was said and consumed- we hit the theater to catch a little fire...most of us seeing it for the second time. It's that good. |
|
And so, Thanksgiving came and went at lightning speed around here.
I have so much to be thankful for that I won't share it here, but rest assured I play out that list every day with Heavenly Father.
I am blessed.
