Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It's fairly relaxing, full of good food, friends and family, and you are celebrating all that you are thankful for. We were fortunate to spend this Thanksgiving with Staci and Brandon and their family. We've been friends for so long that their family is our family, and vice versa.
It has become a tradition to make Thelma's rolls for the holidays. It feels good to be able to carry that tradition along and I love that I get to use her hand-written recipe card every year. Owen helped out by punching down the dough and he did great. I think I have my official bread maker helper.
Staci is definitely the hostest with the mostest. It runs in the family. Her mom is a great home decorator and her sister is an incredible cook. Plus, Brandon makes sure drink glasses are always full. With their powers combined, it was a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Staci's sister has three kids who were over for dinner. Owen had a great time playing with them. Mom and dad had a great time relaxing, while Owen played with them. Win-win situation.
The kids played hide-and-seek for quite some time. It was Owen's first time playing the game, so he had to learn the rules. He thought hiding under the table was the perfect hiding spot so kept going back. He eventually caught on that doesn't work out so well.
It was the first time Staci and Brandon hosted Thanksgiving in their home, so the bird carving was a recordable event. I believe Brandon had a few cameras filming this.
We had a very nice Thanksgiving and are so thankful for our friends, family, and health. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Okay, I know nobody knows what is going to be the best picture ever . . . but I'm telling you, the last picture of you guys is the BEST ever, ever, ever, ever.
But don't take my word for it. Look at it for yourself, and then ask everyone you love. Yes, this is it.
No doubt about it. I would tell you if there was. :0) I love you guys, Mom / Grandma Bug
I agree- that is a great picture!! And your Thanksgiving sounds like fun...with great friends and food. Does it get any better than that?
I have to agree with the "best pic" statement. The short fellow has always seemed a bit preoccupied in previous photos. I have a feeling the preoccupied look on his part was intentional….this must be the real little boy.
Glad you had a good Thanksgiving with loving friends.
