On Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving was really great. All THREE meals! We spent a day in Monticello, a day in Locust Grove and a day in Dacula. It was a sweet time with family, beautiful weather and great food. I posted pictures on facebook to document the fun times!!
I was shocked at how beautiful it was on Thursday. I was totally expecting rain and cold! I'll take a beautiful thanksgiving anytime!

Hope yours was great too! I sure do wish that I was this thankful ALL year!!!

So I am cooking a semi-complete Thanksgiving meal this year - the day after Thanksgiving. The only thing I'm not responsible for is the meat!! I thought I would share some fun recipes that I'm using for the meal. Most are from AllRecipes.com which is my favorite recipe site.

1. please don't count the calories

2. please don't pass judgement on the boxed stuffing!

So here goes (links to recipes are in title)

Choosing Christmas Cards...

Anyone else look forward to making and picking out Christmas Cards?

I love to look back at mine and Aaron's from the past few years - the first year was a whirlwind so we didn't send our cards. Year 2 we send a pic with our first dog Nala, the next year was a crazy picture of us at my Aunt's Christmas party which was the best one yet! The third year was a picture of Aaron and I paired with an ultrasound pic of Walker, 4th year was a picture of Walker surrounded by Christmas lights and this year...we are still working on!!

Last year we made out own which turned out really fun but this year Shutterfly has a great deal on some awesome Christmas cards for any family! They have so many designs to choose from - a lot more creative than I could be!

Here are 2 of my favorites...but will they make the cut?
