We had a great Thanksgiving. We kept it simple, stayed home and cooked our own meal and everything turned out pretty great. We had a minor tragedy with the rolls and my favorite baking stone at the end of the night but these things happen, especially when you leave the stone on a burner that never got turned off. OOPS!

| Charlie had a little 'sweet' fun at school. |
 |
| Carter and his friends had a hankering for scones so they looked up a recipe and had some decent success. The honey butter in a jar was crucial but for a first attempt he didn't do too bad. |
And then we had Thanksgiving dinner! Greg and I did our best to bring in all the favorites.
 |
| Greg's relish tray and cranberry sauce over cream cheese was great. |
 |
| It's hard to get a photo of such a big group. |
 |
| Bye, bye best ever baking dish. |

It's been a nice week and our weekend should be productive. Greg's working on a gate for the back fence project and you know me, I made it even harder for him by requesting it have a chevron pattern so I'll post photos when that's done. Charlie and McClane helped me put up the Christmas decor today and when I get a tree up I'll share photos of it all put together. It's going to be interesting when baby Beau comes to visit but we tried to keep it simple and baby friendly.
We sure are lucky and blessed and we're so grateful for our healthy family and that we could all be together for Thanksgiving.
P.S. If you're wondering about Mark's hair, it may or may not have been cut and it may or may not have cost me $400 but rest assured memories were made and it's a long story!
