How We Spent Our Day Of Thanks

This is our "Wall of Thanks"  we made for Family Home Evening last Monday.  Everyone was able to write what they are thankful for on a post it note and stick it on the wall.

This is the first turkey I have made in a very long time.  I think it turned out just dandy.

As usual we shared our day with Da Boys.  However I refused to allow them to share the dinner table with us.  That made some people rather unhappy.  I reminded them I had been cooking since 6:30 am and they could pause the dang game (that's what a DVR is for after all) and eat with the rest of us at the table like decent people who appreciate someone caring enough about them to drag her tired booty out of bed to start cooking a meal at such an unreasonable hour.

The sun sets in our back yard and as you can see from this photo, it creates a problem with people trying to sit on the couch and still keep their vision intact.  Sometimes we have to wear sunglasses to watch TV.

As you can see from the above picture, my dear husband solved the sun problem.  Nothing says white trash quite like paper taped to the windows as blinds.

This is pretty much where they spent the entire day.  Oh yeah, except for that one time when the Wicked Witch of the West made them sit at the table and eat Thanksgiving dinner.

Around 8:30 that night Addy brought out the cheese ball palooza.  That's pretty much what we ate for dinner.  That and pie.
