Turkey Day for us is always one filled with tasty food and fun family. This year was a little smaller than planned. Since Holly arrived early; she was unable to make the long car ride down (and truthfully, I wasn't sure she should be around kiddos yet with her new immune system). Anyway, so ... that left us and Gma and Gpa Cannode. Thank goodness my little chef wanted to help with the meal! He was quite the pumpkin pie maker!
We were blessed with warmer weather again, which meant some time for baseball. Thankfully, Pat is a great pitcher! The boys were hitting it out of the park!
With just a few of us eating, we determined a large turkey didn't make sense. Instead, we chose to make our first drunken chicken and some ham. It was delicious! I can't wait to make another one! No one even missed the turkey!
After eating all that goodness, it was time for our holiday walk in the park. The kids are getting really good on the walks and don't even get tired anymore! Very proud of my healthy guys. On our walk, we were able to find a few furry friends. In fact, we saw a heard of 6 white tail deer! As you can see by how close we were... these deer are pretty friendly.
Yup, our Thanksgiving was missing a few important family members (ones we wished were there from ND and ones that were a mere hour away), but overall... it was a very successful holiday! We are so thankful for family and especially thankful for our new niece and that both Holly and April and healthy and happy!
