{Thankful} {Yummy} {Tired}

Happy Thanksgiving. This was our second annual Thanksgiving at our house. Last year was much easier since Luella was 6 weeks old, I pretty much tool care of her while everyone other then me took care of everything else. Needless to say, is that this year...I am tired. The day started at 5:30am with a crabby teething baby (well do I call her a toddler now?). So we started cooking early. Aaron took on the meat, my mom I took on everything else. I got everything prepped and ready to go and was determined to be organized and eat on time. Well, that didn't happen. The soup never got hot because I forgot to plug in the crock pot. 20 minutes before we were suppose to eat the realized the stuffing was still in the frig (aaron doesn't stuff the bird, tat is a big no, no in his book). Anyways, I am not as perfect as I would like to be, but we ate a fabulous meal, just an hour later then expected. The menu was turkey, lamb, brussels sprouts, green beans, stuffing, mashed potatoes, creamy sweet potato and carrot soup, gravy, cranberry relish and a fabulous salad (my aunt Christine made the last two). It was good. My friend Charla said she like Thanksgiving now because our food was so good!!

Luella was entertained most of the day by Ya-Ya (grandma)! Here she is tell me "no, no, no" as I am trying to get a picture of her cute thanksgiving dress. My mom (Ya-Ya) made it it for her with fabric we picked out together and a pattern I found on etsy! I had the add the converse...too cute!

Here is all the little details of the decoration. This was my mom's other job. She is kind of like Martha Stewart, just way hotter.

Since I realized there are very few pictures of the three of us, or just Luella with me or Aaron, we tried to get some pictures together. As you can see it was kind of difficult. Here are the best ones. And of course, a picture of the three of use didn't happen.

Here is the dinner towards the end of the evening, everyone with full bellies. My dad is at the end of the table with the smile...he will be 70 tomorrow.

I am so thankful for my life...it is pretty much perfect!
