Thanksgiving

I love how my family does Thanksgiving... and honestly, all holidays.  They're really low key, chill and just centered around being around people you care about and some people you don't get to see a whole lot, so it gives you a chance to catch up.  There aren't any planned events that you feel obligated to participate in and you're just there to hang out.  We went to my parents house and this year they actually watched the Lions game.  I'm thinking it's because my brother wanted to, but it was all good.

Lucy hanging out with Grandpa watching the game.  The only time she was sitting still the entire time!

We had a delicious meal.  I think it's funny that my least favorite part about Thanksgiving is the turkey. I like turkey, but I just like all the other things more!  My favorite is the stuffing, probably followed by sweet potatoes.  I was really surprised that the kids favorite part was the turkey.  They usually don't like pieces of meat (like chicken breast, chicken nuggets, hamburger meat by itself) but they didn't want anything but turkey.  It was kinda crazy!  They did really well with the food and LOVED the pumpkin pie.

We hung out with my Grandma and Grandpa Miller, my brother and his girlfriend, and then later for dessert my cousin Casey and his family came over with my Aunt and Uncle Kinney and my Uncle Jeff.  My cousin Casey has two kids and so it was nice for our kids to be able to play with them too.  It was just a nice time, and I was so full I couldn't breath... now, I don't know how much of it was the quantity of food I consumed and how much space Norah was keeping for herself, but I was FULL.  Then my Aunt brought these cookies that were DELICIOUS, so of course I had to sample them as well.

Got a lot of good leftovers from my Mom and even made a turkey pot pie out of the leftovers so far.  :)
