We had a nice Thanksgiving this year. We hosted again with nineteen adults and five kids. We ate lots of food and a tremendous amount of desserts, visited with family and snapped lots of pictures in the homemade photo booth!
I have pretty much decided the cooking necessary for Thanksgiving is a bit beyond me. I am not quite sure what happens. I have everything under control and then poof! the last hour is complete craziness :) I am thinking next time I host Thanksgiving, more crockpots and less yeast will be involved :)
Layla and Grady had a fabulous time on Thanksgiving. Layla woke up early to see everything set up for the big day. Ryan had made an early morning run to the store and Layla was waiting in the window for him when he returned. She was wondering if her Thanksgiving outfit was ironed :) Layla loves a holiday and sang her "Happy Thanksgiving" song many times over the course of the day. As Ryan carried up the kids for baths at the end of the night, Layla was still singing "Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Thanksgiving" with a hoarse little voice :)
Here is a picture of the start of the food craziness! Here Ryan was trying to plug the roaster in behind the washer. The roaster did not work properly and our ham was still very cold after being in the roaster for over an hour. I decided I was thankful we decided to put the turkey in the oven and not in the roaster :)
Turkey cutting time!
My mom dealing with the excess of potatoes. I made 15 pounds.
WAY too many for the crowd. A pound a person for turkey...not for potatoes!
How cute are these two? Our newest little guest was pretty adorable :)
And now the hit of the day...the turkey day photo booth! Shea enjoyed playing photographer for the day. He was very funny behind the tripod and was the main reason we have so many pictures. He really lured everyone over for some snapshots. And how do you say no to Shea?!?
After Thanksgiving was cleaned up, we started to decorate for Christmas. Layla was up early on Friday, excited to put up the decorations :) Grady loved playing around the decoration chaos!
We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
We are really excited for the Christmas season around here!

Super fun day. Yummy food. But the photo booth takes the cake. Still laughing about Shea getting mad when the tape showed up in his pictures and when he was 1, 2, 3-ing people.
What a wonderful day you must have had - after the food was devoured, of course :)
Can't wait til Sunday .....
Love,
Super AA
