Last year, we started a new tradition. We have our own Thanksgiving on the Sunday before actual Thanksgiving. Last year, I decided to do it last minute so while it was good, I didn't make very much from scratch. This year, I thought about it a lot more and planned ahead. We had a large menu and as Lilah said, "We are having a FEAST!" We had turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, brussell sprouts, shells and cheese, stuffing, rolls, and pecan pie. I planned to make extra so that we would have leftovers. The girls helped me make the pie and I did the rest. I honestly can't believe it, but everything was done at the same time and everything turned out great!
To set the table, we used a variety of colorful Fiestaware and Pampered Chef dishes, our new Disney silverware, Princess House glasses from my Aunt Nancy, and a table cloth from my Grandma Wolf. We also added some cloth napkins and place cards the kids had made for a dinner with friends earlier this month. Of course, we always talk about things we are thankful for. Brian claimed this will be a yearly tradition and I couldn't agree more!

| OUR FEAST! |

| I made the potatoes from scratch, but I didn't make a turkey. I bought and oven roasted one that we just heated up. I may tackle a turkey at some point, but if I'm being honest, a whole cooked turkey isn't my favorite. |
