Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, there is so much to be thankful for!! We were blessed to have the Tuttles staying at our home over the weekend. They arrived Wednesday evening.  Jason flew in Wednesday evening as well, once we were all together we had dinner at one of our favorite Greensboro restaurants - Natty Greens.

While Bonnie was getting the kids into bed, I recruited Jason and Steve to assist me in peeling a bag of potatoes for au gratin potatoes.  The whole thing was a group effort, Maura actually cooked the potatoes Thanksgiving day at her house! Way to go team!!

Thanksgiving Day was packed with activity!  We went to Dad's house Thanksgiving morning to get professional family photos taken, then stayed for lunch, and after lunch I went and saw the Mega Mind movie with the Tuttles and Katie. When we arrived back at Dad's we had a few a bit of time so the kids and I completed some Turkey plate crafts Kelly provided. We ate a very large, delicious Thanksgiving dinner! Thanks Kelly!! During dessert we picked our Kris Kringle, the ornament was beautiful! Thank you Natalie!! We headed home to get the kids to bed after such a long day!

Friday everyone came to our house for crafting and playing. The nieces and nephews had a wonderful time making some gorgeous ginger bread houses together!  They also made nutter-butter turkeys and some ornaments. We ate some yummy pizza for lunch. Then it was time to play, Wii being the main event! Once the Levers headed home, we relinquished the TV to the grown up boys to watch football and Steve, Colleen, Liam, Jonathan, David, and our neighbors grandson, David, all played two-hand-touch football in the backyard!  We had Thanksgiving leftovers for dinner and we all chatted the night away.

We were very sad to see the Tuttles leave the next morning. We have been so blessed to see them so many times this year!! We hope they come back soon!!
