Thanksgiving Weekend

Our family has had a run of sickness. It lasted about 4 weeks. Thanksgiving was at the tail end of all of this, so we decided to stay home and just enjoy the day as a family. I am glad we did because of the storms in Washington and Utah. It was wonderful!! We had ham instead of turkey, blueberry pie instead of pumpkin, we made it just how we like it. We made dinner together, we played with toys, listened to Christmas music, got ready for Christmas....

O.K., I am a little embarrassed but this was my first time ever making a pie. Crust and all. Colby had to document this. It didn't turn out too bad, the hardest part was rolling the dough into a circle that was even. Oh well, I am now not so afraid to do it again.
Colby and the kids dancing to Christmas music. Their favorite is Jingle Bells.
Trains before....
Trains after! Colby and Jayden built it, Kylie destroyed it. She is a good train city monster.

Jayden putting the angel on the tree. He was excited, as you can tell.

That looks like such a fun day! I love that Thanksgiving is so focused on spending time together. And, good job on the pie! I love making pies, but I've never gotten my crust into a perfect circle.
