Turkey Day Recap

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Shopping (maybe…for some of your Black Friday shoppers)!

We dropped Jaxen off with some friends for the weekend

and then Nik, Zane and I hit the stores up!

Well…one store, then lunch with friends, then 2 more stores.

We really only looked at one ad and was not serious “Black Friday Shoppers”

like we have been in the past.

We went when the crowds were down (some) and just had a great time!

Anyone else have a pile of stuff to return?

I do! Haha!

Really, because I bought 2 sweaters and didn’t try them on in the store,

then got home, put them on and didn’t like them.

Oh well.

Anyway…

Here is how our Thanksgiving Turkey Day went down….

Wednesday night I made this Peanut Butter Pie,

and this beauty of an Apple-Pecan Pie! Both were yummy!

Thursday we were awake by 7 and eating cinnamon rolls while watching the parade by 8am.

I made this Broccoli Salad that morning,

snapped a quick pic of Nik and I,

and was out the door by 10:45am to go to the Robbins for lunch!

Our menu included:

Bacon-wrapped breadsticks (my favorite from the day)

Butter-Herb (or something amazing) Turkey & Gravy

Apple-Pecan Stuffing

Sweet Potato Balls

Green Bean Casserole

Homemade Cranberry Sauce

Broccoli Salad

Fried Corn

Rolls

I think that was it!

It was delicious - Diane is one of the best Holiday cooks!!!

We ate lunch, cleaned up and then headed back to our place for 

dessert, football and Christmas Crafts.

Yes that’s right. 

Jaxen wanted to have Christmas Craft Stations.

So we had stuff to make Christmas Cards, Snowflakes and decorate Stockings.

It was a fun day with friends!
