Thanksgiving

was a BLAST!!

The boys started off the festivities after a nice nap and woke to find that Oma, Opa and Aunt Kaity were already here, waiting to play.

It seemed that everyone got their turn to spend with Jackson and Aiden. Jason and I enjoyed hearing everyone talking about how much they thought the boys have changed since last year and in which ways.

It was SO laid back and EVERYONE pitched in so much that Jason and I didn't need to do much at ALL! It was an amazing little break amidst all the chaotic moving. Jason cooked the turkey (which was Cajun flavored)and I made the green bean casserole. The night before I made 2 pumpkin pies and a fruit salad. That's IT. Everyone else brought the rest!

Oma brought her delicious stuffing (which Aunt Kaity helped with), some yams and a mouth watering cherry pie. Aunt Backy brought the famous mac n cheese and the BEST mashed taters we've had in a long time. She also brought rolls and a cucumber/vinegar salad that her and Jason looooooooooooove. The first time Jason met my Aunt Backy was for Thanksgiving and they bonded over the fact that they loved the same stinky salad. Well guess what? Now they have the boys hooked on it!! Hahahaha! Jackson and Aiden ate it as leftovers for DAYS. Breakfast, lunch AND dinner! heehee And Paw Paw (who is still trying to decide on a name for the boys to call him!!!!) brought 2 pies.

Great, GREAT times. WONDERFUL family. And I can honestly say that it felt like a BREAK to Jason and I to have everyone here! A BREAK! Thanks, everyone. We hope you too had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

We are looking forward to Christmas when Nana and Grandpa will be here, too!!!!
