our family's first thanksgiving.

we celebrated our first thanksgiving this year as a family! it turned out to be a great holiday!

i woke up around 10:30 which is later than i wanted to but i am still trying to get adjusted to the time change. when i got up i made the stuffing so it could cool before putting it in the turkey and got the turkey rinsed and such. jeremy got up a bit later and helped me with the turkey. before i knew it we put it in the oven. i got in the shower and got ready for the day. it seemed to go by super fast. xavier was pretty good. there were times that he wanted his mom but overall he did great!

tom and sharon came over around 3 because dinner was supposed to be at 4 but i put the turkey in late so it was around 5:30. we had some hors d'oeuvres that sharon brought over in the meantime. we also made this onesie for xavier and i got him dressed in it. =)


 isnt it just cute? that is his actual handprint! =) a little sloppy, but it works!

the turkey got done around 5:30 and it looked like this:


this was by far the best turkey we have ever made! yum!!

the whole dinner table! =)

after dinner i was super exhausted so i took care of xavier while sharon and jeremy cleaned up a bit. i was falling asleep on the recliner! i felt so bad. tom and sharon left, but not before snapping this super cute photo! 

xavier loves them!!!

at around 7:20pm i fell asleep until about 10. i woke up and then a bit later jeremy and xavier woke up and we were up then until about 3. samara came over for a bit and hung out with us too. it was a really nice day. i got a photo of the fam, but its not the greatest because xavier isnt looking, hahaha:

it will do. =)

i also like this photo!

i am so thankful to have such wonderful people in my life and for all of the gifts that God has given us. im very blessed <3
