So this year we had a nice quiet Thanksgiving at home. It worked out ok considering Brody had surgery the day before. We woke up and had a pretty lazy morning. Our friend Matt Chin from college was in town so he came by that afternoon. We just watched football and hung out. I put the turkey in the oven around 3. We made green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, yams, butt bread, gravy, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. Everything but the butt bread came out really good. Brody sat at the table the entire time and was really good. I was so proud of him. His favorite was the mashed potatoes. He is definitely his mother's son :) After dinner we cleaned up and watched a movie. I was so full I didn't even get to the pumpkin pie until almost eleven. We definitely missed having family around but it was really nice to spend time with just the three of us. On Friday we got up and did a little shopping and then came home and started with the Christmas decorations. We got the outside lights up on Friday and then did the tree and inside decorations on Saturday. We are officially in full holiday spirit. I love this time of year!
