Thanksgiving Weekend

And these 2 sweet daughters of mine drove from Utah just to be with us for The big day!! So glad they were here....it's always funner with a house full...and you can NEVER go wrong with daughters around!!!
Love them!!! Tanner wanted to see how heavy a turkey could be anyway....it's heavy he says!!! A 20 pounder!
We tried cooking it in a roaster Kev bought me that morning...I don't think I allowed enough time for it to cook...it didn't seem to cook as fast as the oven...but then again I didn't have any experience with it either...I will cook in it again and get used to it!! I want to try another turkey!!
And we all made these little turkeys to put on our tables beside each plate....but, we forgot to put them out!!! So they sat on the window seal to dry and look pretty!! Fun to make anyways!
Since Kaylee and Shaylin were here....we just had to get our Christmas tree that weekend too! We went to The Red Barn Tree Farm...I love that place for some reason!! Sure was nice to have the kids together for some photo's too!!!
We were soooooo productive that Saturday!!! We all got ready and went and got our tree....
I took everyone in to vote for my design team entrys...decorated the tree, put up our Christmas decorations, Kev put the outside lights up ( had a fall off the ladder, but luckily he didn't get hurt too bad!), Kaylee made us swiss steak for dinner....so nice to have someone cook in my kitchen....so delicious too!

Shaylin helped me with the lights on the tree while Kaylee made dinner...I swear there are 20 strands of lights on this tree! It took a LONG time this year it seemed! Nice to have it all up all month!! I love this time of year! I am trying to savour the season by celebrating everyday...and making it memorable!! Kaylee and Shaylin come back on the 23rd!! Wahoo!!!! More fun to be had!! I haven't played Rummikub since they left...the game is here waiting for them to return!!!
