We got to spend this year's Thanksgiving with my family at our house. Jared absolutely LOVES gearing up for Thanksgiving and was collecting recipes for a month before, even trying some out to see if they were worthy of Thanksgiving meal. I keep waiting for him to get tired of cooking, but it hasn't happened yet.
Here's our turkey brine. Did that two days before I think? You boil this mixture up, let it cool, then you put the turkey in a big bucket and pour this, apple cider, ice and water in with it. It makes for such a yummy turkey!
What's that Conner's eating? A snake? Jared used our apple peeler for the apple pies, well Conner was eating the apple peels all up. Funny kid!
Two Apple crumb pies done
Chow time! We had turkey, ham, two kinds of stuffing, veggies, crackers & dip, potatoes, carrots, green beans, sweet potato souffle, rolls, salads....lots of desserts. Lots and lots of grub!
Dad brought these for the table, painted by Grandma Hibbert in 1981.
My Mom made these name card goody bags for everyone.
Kelsey ended up collecting the stickers to embellish her sweater. =]
Dad brought slides to watch while we digested.
This is Sophie at about 7:00. Turkey nap!

Before Thanksgiving we got a huge storm. It just snowed & snowed for 2 days. It's all long gone now. Hoping we get more for Christmas!
We went with Jamie & kids & Bergman's to watch Santa arrive at City Creek on Nov. 15th.
For FHE on Dec. 3rd we took the kids down to see the lights at Temple Square and the candy windows at City Creek.
Cute pictures, you guys did such a great job on Thanksgiving dinner, thanks so much for doing that for all of us!
