Our First Thanksgiving

This year was the first Thanksgiving we have been away from our family, and the first time making ALL the food. We had a great time planning and preparing for the dinner. We really wanted to make it special for the boys. They are away from home and a majority of them have no contact with their families. We had a great day and the boys were so good. 



 Jake made the turkey for his first time. I think he did a GREAT job!

 Stuffing, sweet potato casserole, and green been casserole.


We also made A LOT of pies. We had banana cream, coconut cream, chocolate mousse, pecan, pumpkin, and pumpkin cheese cake. We missed being away from our family but made the best of the day and really enjoyed being with our boys.
