Thanksgiving 2012

Today it's back to reality after a glorious 4 day weekend. I had a wonderful Thanksgiving at home with my family. It's really hard to get back into the swing of things this morning at work after being spoiled all weekend.

Cute little Thanksgiving napkins my mom found

Mom always makes sure that the table is festive for Turkey Day. She did a little fall theme this year.

We even pulled out my grandparent's turkey-thing that they have had for as long as I can remember.

It's always nice to pull out a little reminder or two of your family that can't be there with you to celebrate.
Of course, we ate way too much food. It was so good. I love Thanksgiving time and all the food that we only eat once a year.

Daddy and his BFF, Wilson getting the meat carved

I made Stacey's favorite carrot cake. It's a Southern Living recipe and oh-so delicious! Too bad I didn't take a picture to document all my hard work!

It was a pretty laid back day. This was David's first Thanksgiving that he has spent with us, and hopefully he will be spending many more Thanksgivings to come!

Barrett had a very captive audience with David!

Barrett got to show us all of his Thanksgiving arts and crafts that he has made. It was really cute :-)

And no Thanksgiving would be complete without a little photo taking.

Somehow Daddy and David managed to escape the camera! They are sneaky things!

I will have to post some more pictures from the weekend to capture all my adventures. Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
