Gobble Gobble

Our Thansgiving was wonderful! We stayed at home and invited Grandma, Grandpa and Mrs. Pemberton over for lunch. Our extended families were spending Thanksgiving with other family members and we decided to enjoy our feast at home.

Bruce's client, Mrs. Pemberton, was free this Thanksgiving and Bruce asked her to join us. She came over for lunch and seemed to enjoy herself.

We had way more food that we could ever eat! I cooked a turkey breast that had been soaked in a brine. It was fantastic!! I made it last year and this year Madison requested it. My dad grilled a turkey and we had lots of sides...Sweet Potato Souffle, greens, green beans, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, squash casserole, rolls, gravy, deviled eggs, relish tray, etc. Lots and lots of food! Emmalene dined on Stage 2 Gerber turkey, carrots and corn casserole. She isn't ready for table food yet. So, she had her own feast - jar style!

After lunch we sat down in the living for a long visit. Mrs. Pemberton headed home around 4:00 P.M. Grandma and Grandpa left around 5:00 P.M. Tjey helped us clean up the kitchen. We took the kids outside for a little bit to play. It was a great day!

Emmalene wore her "Gobble Gobble" onesie for Thanksgiving. She won't wear a bib. Everytime you slip one on her, she pulls it right off. I tried the ones with snaps, but she pulled so hard on it that she actually brought blood to the skin around her neck. So, no bibs for us. We just try to be extra careful not to get it on her clothes. We've got lots of oxi-clean!
