Thanksgiving 2012


For the first time in several years Jen had to work on Thanksgiving.  In addition all of our friends had plans to leave town, gather with family, or were invited by members in their Ward to eat. We had thus planned to have Thanksgiving with just the four of us at... The Cheesecake Factory.  A week before Thanksgiving our good friends the Niederhausers and Clarks had a change of plans. We thus ditched Cheesecake and headed to the Niederhausers' for the day.

Here is our Turkey Day in pictures:

Post-turkey coma

Cutting into the SECOND turkey so each family had plenty of left-overs

Ellie LOVES doing snaps, she had a great time buckling Marshall into his booster seat

Kids having fun drawing outside

Silly Daddy and Ellie (mommy cringed at this picture! only daddy would let her put her filthy shoe in her mouth!)

more cringing...

Two cutie pies

More Turkey coma

Apparently it was a potent Turkey!
Ellie wanted to try my sparkling grape juice, she didn't like it! 

Awesome, right?!  This was our yummy Thanksgiving dinner.
