Thanksgiving Feast

 Our family was super excited to host Thanksgiving this year! We woke up to snow gently falling again and I was grateful for our cozy home. We had my whole family here except for my oldest brother and it was so fun to be together! I got the turkey in nice and early and had the dressing simmering when everyone came in. Those who weren't able to stay the weekend arrived early on Monday morning. My Mom got busy in the kitchen peeling potatoes and helping with the meal. She's always so good at seeing a need and filling it. Naomi happily made a couple of pumpkin pies and my mamma brought three apple pies! The kitchen was hot and the house was buzzing with conversation. Hyrum brought up his legos and built with Uncle Ryan and Grampa. They made a pretty awesome little car and made it go over jumps. Auntie Emma crafted up some turkeys with Cami girl at the round table. Oliver got passed around most of the day, and nursed frequently. We squished all of the adults around our dining table and the kids around the little table. Everyone brought a little something to contribute to the meal and we could hardly fit it all on the table. It was a feast. Once dinner was finished the men cleaned up and put everything away. We all enjoyed a few pieces of pie with ice cream and then some of us snuck off to different corners of the house to nap off our turkey comas. Everybody visited as long as they could before taking the long drive to their homes. It's always hard to say good-bye! It was such a fun day! I was glad everyone put in the effort to be together and make memories.
