Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving with my family this year was in Charlotte at my sister's home. She was a fabulous hostess. We had such a great time. The most exciting event was probably the frying of the turkey. The oil got wayyyy too hot and caused the air to combust into a ball of fire, so after cooling down the oil for a long time... here's the beautiful bird. Looks are definitely deceiving in this picture cause that bird was goooood. Maggie was a princess when we arrived and I think she stayed in that ballerina outfit the whole time. She had some sweet dance moves too.

cute cute Henry just woke up in this picture... can you tell? :)

Tyler and his dad spent time making the game "corn hole". It is a good thing that they did because we spent a whole lot of time playing. It was a lot of fun.

Good ole Poppa.

Snuggle time with Grandma! What would a family event be without that???

The spread... so glorious!

This is not from Thanksgiving, but I just had to share. This is the "cake" from John's "swearing in party". John's parents kindly hosted a BBQ party after he was sworn in. When they asked for the cake to have Congratulations John, Esquire...I guess they didn't believe that John was really done with school and the bar because this is what they wrote...

Also... I had to share this amazing photo of Trooper. What can I say about this? It's amazing. This is my thug nephew.
