It has been so amazing to have family here this Thanksgiving. Our home was filled with ten people for the Holiday and we baked our first ever turkey. My mother was key in this operation. And helping me bake the pies. I had all the ingredients, the recipes, and the willpower, but nothing makes up for experience and knowing how to time things just right....or the support of your family cheering you on!

The table looked great, and was a combination of family heir looms. My aunts plates, my grandmother's napkins, and the table was Charlie's great grandmother's. Here's how it looked...
And here we are right before chowing down...

This trip was not for the faint of heart or the tired. We visited the property the my in-laws are in the process of closing on. We went out to dinner and we also visited Discovery Place and saw a Mummy exhibit. We snuck in the some relaxing and watching movies, but we did a lot!!
