Thanksgiving 2013

We have so much to be thankful for this year, so much that we needed two Thanksgivings to help us celebrate.

On Thanksgiving day I made dinner for the four of us.  This is only the second time I have cooked the full meal just for us.  I have to say it turned out pretty good.  As we were starting dinner we went around the table to say what we were thankful for.  Can you guess what Olivia is thankful for this year?  We all know it isn't Finn.  Nope, she is thankful for herself.  I had to giggle when "Olivia" came out of her mouth.  Finney's favorite part of the meal was the sweet potato casserole and pecan pie.  Olivia's favorite part was, well, pretty much everything.  Girlfriend likes her turkey

Later that evening we decorated the Christmas tree.  Sorry I don't have pictures of this.  Olivia decided that she wanted to decorate the tree in her undies.  The tree looks a little different this year since we let Olivia hang her own ornaments.  She picked three low hanging branches that she liked, all of which have about 12 ornaments hanging on them now.

Our second Thanksgiving was held at Gamma and Papa's house on Satruday. The food was a lot better than what I made, we even had a fried turkey for the first time.  The food was a hit with the kids again.  Finn had his turkey devoured even before I could get back to the table with my plate of food.

Olivia loved her pumpkin pie.  Actually, she didn't touch the pie, she loved the cool whip that was on top of the pie.

Later that afternoon Gamma let the kids open one of their Christmas gifts, they loved that.  Finn also decided that he would do some animal hunting, poor Itty Bitty.
