Thanksgiving in October??

holy guacamole she's adorable!

(I know I'm biased but seriously, she's cute!)

 

This was how we started our day..gymnastics on the couch!

 

tumbling! (one time was it!)

 

and then we got a package....

 

I ordered something from a high school friend a week or so ago and it arrived today!

a handmade hokie diaper cover and hat!

Emily says she's not really sure about all this stuff I keep putting her in for pictures...first the tutu, now this! :-)

 

I'm thinking this expression describes how she felt! 

We had a "Thanksgiving in October" meal tonight. I tried a couple new recipes but mainly we needed to use up the second turkey that we bought last Thanksgiving (I'm not really sure why we bought 2!). It was taking up much needed space in our deep freezer and it had to go! Zach said he wanted to eat like a caveman... and he did...for one bite.

This was Jacob's expression after Daniel put sweet potato casserole on his plate.

"Do I really have to eat that? Noooooooooooo." ha. We made him eat one bite. The layer on the top is like candy and shouldn't have been torturous to eat.

Zach got to play MarioKart since he ate all of his dinner..in record time.

 

I tried a corn pudding recipe that turned out great...a new sweet potato casserole recipe since I couldn't find my old recipe (also great), then we had green beans, mashed potatoes, turkey, and some super tasty gravy (also made a new way...and fantastic!). Everything was super tasty and it will all be making its way to our Thanksgiving table! I bought stuffing mix and forgot to make it! woooops! I also made a pumpkin pie and a chocolate pie but we're too full from dinner that we haven't had any yet! The pumpkin pie is another new recipe but the chocolate one is a favorite from a friend (although I might not have left it in the oven long enough... it might be more like pudding! We'll see if the fridge helps it out!). Also in the fridge is chocolate eclair cake that I made yesterday but it needed to set up for a little bit before we ate it. I can't wait to feel like eating dessert! YUM YUM!
