Turkey Day in Photos

We spent Thanksgiving this year at my sister Aubree's house in West Jordan. The food was fantastic and we had a good time. I made the Pioneer Woman's Mac & Cheese which was so fantastic, but I would recommend using a few different types of cheeses and don't bake it, but I prefer creamy cheesy Mac & Cheese so that is just my opinion. Brandon made his "Pink Salad" which consists of crushed pineapple, cottage cheese, cool-whip, and strawberry jello powder. It is mighty good, and so fluffy! 

After eating we went to Ogden to my family's big get together there. It is held in a church building and there was a talent show, soooo it's pretty much exactly what you think it is. Cousins, aunts, second cousins, people I don't remember the names of but I am related to... it's great fun. I got to pass out the cookbooks we made, over 350 recipes! And every single one of them is tried and true. It's pretty amazing. Side note, we eat Thanksgiving dinner around 1-3pm every year, and Brandon is so mystified by this because it is not dinner, that is lunch time, but isn't that what everyone does?? Or do other people actually eat at dinner time? Help me out here...

And now for lots of pictures of Baylee & Ethan, my niece and nephew. 

The cookbook.

Lil Baylee.

Baylee & Chrissy, I said "Baylee smile!" and she did! What a doll.

Puttin her to work.

Baylee watching uncle Cody play something. She sucks her thumb and I think it is so dang adorable.

Horsie rides.

Airplane!

The food, and I couldn't even fit everything on my plate so this isn't everything.

My Aunt Ellen, someone I can't remember the name of (sorry!!!!!) and my Aunt Debbie.

Upside down Ethan.

Big smiles.

Oh and we went and saw the Muppets. I really didn't know what I was getting myself into. It was about 5 hours long and pretty dumb. But there were a few funny moments so I guess that's something! Even the kiddies we were with were walking around and sleeping, so I think it's more of a Redbox thing... We did get a jumbo popcorn and HUGE Coke, and the cashier person goes "And you can bring it back for free refills!" LADY HOW ARE WE GOING TO FINISH THIS IN 1 MOVIE?! I don't understand. We even had about 30 people with us and we didn't finish it. It sat in my lap, so that was Thanksgiving dinner #2 for Brandon and I. 

Overall we had a great Thanksgiving. I did a little shopping with my mom and sister on Friday (Bath & Body Works, buy 3 get 3 free! And $5 2-packs of wallflower refills.) So that was successful. And I got Baylee an outfit for Christmas, and a bobble water bottle which I have been wanting for awhile (I know this is really exciting, but this is like my journal so humor me.) Then on Saturday Brandon and I got a few weekend deals, I got an 8 GB flash drive (it's PINK!!) for like $9 and Bran got an 8GB SD card for about $8. I went to Joanns and got some adorable fleece for a blanket I am making Ethan (On sale for $2.50/yd plus I got 75% off of that because it was the last of the fabric roll, so pretty much free.) And I got a blue basket for our bathroom for $3. What a deal. I also got Brandon to go to the dollar store with me, I like their cheap-o decorations, so I got some Christmas ornaments for $2 for a project I am working on. I think that's about all we got... Then Sunday we took a glorious 2 hour nap, and I got out my Christmas decorations. We need to get a tree soon, we DON'T do fake trees. Then we watched The Walking Dead with some friends like we do every Sunday. If you don't watch it it's SO good and you should. That's my update, so we hope everyone else had a great Thanksgiving!
