All things Thanksgiving

The food! turkey, stuffing mashed potatoes, corn, broccoli salad, cherry jell-o salad, sweet potatoes and rolls....then 6 pies for dessert! I know I went a little crazy on the pies...but they were all so good I couldn't not make one! So I made them all...French Silk, Pumpkin, Pumpkin Walnut, Cherry Cream Cheese, Banana Cream, Kailee's Razzleberry.

Almost ready to eat...one last picture!
So patient to take a picture when all they wanted to do was eat!!

The table
Another table shot...I was impressed with myself and the table decor! I made the pumpkins, place cards, confetti, pillow boxes {filled with Andes Mints}, placemats and the scalloped circle placemat in the center all out of coordinating patterned paper!

Our Thanksgiving was soooo relaxing and fun! All the kids helped in the kitchen...there was no schedule to keep, we watched Christmas movies and listened to Christmas music all day! It was fabulous! Shawn took the 3 older kids to the annual Katy 1st Ward Turkey Bowl...they had fun...Shawn was quite pleased when he came home and said one of the young men said he was the MVP!! {a little sore but pleased!}
This is Kyler {an Indian} with his teacher Ms. Rigling {the turkey}. Is she not awesome?! She is so fun when it comes to dressing up!!! This was the highlight of Kyler's day...and he even got to come home early...but he loved the turkey the best!! ;)
An Indian eating his thanksgiving feast!
Kyler made this Indian costume at school...he has a very cool pouch around his neck that holds his bow and arrow. He also made a pilgrim costume but chose this one to wear for the feast!

No ER runs this year? That is what I was waiting to hear. You went all out--- now you have to live up to that for years. :) Very cute.

It looks like a feast, and your table is so pretty. I only made 2 pies this year!

Wow you are incredible! Your family is truly blessed to have such a phenomenal MOM! What a beautiful spread. I bet it was super tasty too!

Kyler's teacher is awesome! How fun!
