Thanksgiving 2012

This year for thanksgiving Ben's sister & her family came to town and we hosted thanksgiving here at our house with Ben's side of the family. The day started early over here, I had planned to make breakfast for everyone who wanted to come over and join us in the morning for parade watching and family time. We had a minor setback with our oven so things didn't get cooking until later than I had hoped. But no worries. It all made it out!!!

We had monkey bread, egg casserole & sausage balls for Brunch. Followed by relaxing family time, game time, naps, playing outside and then of course the big thanksgiving feast for dinner. It was a great day spent with family and ben & were so happy to have family we love in our home.

 I didn't notice till later that my camera was out of focus when I took the brunch pics!! BOOO 
 Oh well yummy brunch!

It was a yummy meal, everyone did great on their dishes and I greatly appreciate that even though we "hosted" I wasn't in charge of making everyhting. So nice!

 And everybody minus Me. I have plans to photoshop myself in later. This pic is kinda funny to me! I think maybe Max is hitting his dad? Hallie looks completely uninterested and aiden is super cheese face!!! Most of the adults just have the "is this over yet"?? Expression going on! LOL ahhhh family pictures with 4 little ones! 
 This visit was the 1st time Aunt Jenny has seen our littlest turkey so I had to get her picture with him. 
Charley turkey!! I think he's oh so precious!!!

Such a fun day filled with family. We have so much to be grateful for!!!

What a gracious host! I am sure that everyone left with Full Tummy's and Full Hearts. Baby Garcia sure has grown since I last saw pictures of him. What a cutie!! And of course Aiden, Hallie, and Charley are adorable little Turkeys. I think someone needs to tell Santa that she wants a tripod for Christmas! he he Always make sure that YOU are in the picture. We will bring ours for Christmas. :-) Lovely post and lovely family.
