Thanksgiving #1

Since we are going to be in Hattiesburg for Thanksgiving I wanted to have our own family Thanksgiving here. I made a turkey breast in the crockpot (This is the 3rd or 4th time I've done this. It's so easy and so yummy!), mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, rolls, and cranberry sauce. (Yes, that IS sparkling white grape juice in the glasses.)





I did not make sweet potato casserole. For one, I cannot stand the taste of sweet potatoes. And two, I had just made this for Jeremy's work party on Friday and dumped half of it in the oven.



I then spent 2 hours scrubbing the oven on Saturday, so I still had a bitter taste in my mouth.

I asked everyone during dinner what they were thankful for. Please note that at the end of my turn I said, "That's it". Obviously I am thankful for so much more, but I looked pretty rough, and I just wanted Jeremy to take the camera off of me.



Tonight for FHE we taught Shelby about Pilgrims and Indians and the first Thanksgiving. We have also been teaching her that she should thank Heavenly Father for everything. So now her prayers tend to be super long and we have to sometimes cut her off and get her to end the prayer. I love our little family and am so thankful for them. To cap off the post, here is some video of Joey learning to pull up on the stairs, and Shelby being crazy. Please excuse the boxes, I was putting up the fall decorations and getting the Christmas decorations out.
