How was your Thanksgiving? Ours was fantastic! Memaw and PawPaw came to visit, which we all desperately needed. We used to see them almost every weekend, and not having that accessibility has been hard on all of us. We loved having Memaw and PawPaw for an entire week, and the hubs and I took advantage by sleeping in and being lazy.
Luckily, Memaw is a great cook, so she got right down to work in the kitchen. Barrett wanted to help her make cinnamon rolls, so he rolled out his own dough.
These two - it took them a good day to settle down from the excitement of having Memaw and PawPaw visit!
We did two turkeys - one traditional turkey in the oven and a Cajun turkey in the deep fryer in the driveway. Both turned out delicious, and of course I made a turkey pot pie the next day.
Do we all look a little sick? We stuffed ourselves silly. We had the turkeys, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, broccoli rice casserole, stuffing, cranberry relish, and Memaw's homemade bread. Memaw made us pumpkin pie and pecan pie for dessert.
We're all still getting used to not having cold weather for the holidays - swimming after dinner was a first for us! Granted, we had to put on the pool heater, but the kids and Memaw loved getting to swim. PawPaw checked and saw it was 24 degrees with the wind chill back in Ohio - what a difference!
We decorated for Christmas after dinner, and got the trees up. PawPaw distracted the kids while Memaw helped with the staircase garlands and I untangled lights outside.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
