Thanksgiving

This year was my first time to make the complete Thanksgiving meal.  I really enjoyed it.  Everything turned out delicious, just how I like it!

 I was so happy with how the table looked, I had to take a picture.  Kara and Blake made napkin holders.

The girls put on aprons and helped me in the kitchen.  I wish I had a picture of that!  I did manage to get a picture of my little man next to our bird, and the nice towel he made for us at school.

We really missed our annual trip to Kansas City to see extended family and friends, so to soften the blow, we went to the beach.  When in California....

This time we went to a hotspot for surfers, it was a sight to see for this Kansas girl.  The kids went right to the sand and had a blast.

 

We also got our tree up and had our annual tree decorating and egg nog.  We even convinced Blake to drink some.
