Turkey Day 2013

As far as family gatherings go, Thanksgiving for us was pretty low key this year and it was so nice!  The week before Sam and Owen helped me cut out and decorate their turkey shirts.  We gave Sam his at his birthday party the weekend before.I had already made Ellie a cute bow, so she got spared wearing a turkey.  We packed up and drove to Peoria Thursday morning bright and early.We got to hang out at my folk’s place and I whipped up my assigned sweet potato dish. (browned butter sweet potato casserole).  It was just us, my parents, and Philip and Kara so it felt a little lonely without Jenna and Casey.We got everyone dressed and headed over to my grandparent’s for a delicious meal! The rest of the weekend was super laid back and relaxing and I even got to sneak in a little Black Friday shopping for a couple things I was wanting for our school room.  Saturday night we helped Aunt Kara celebrate her birthday.  Owen assisted in the blowing out of the candles.Pretty boring Turkey Day report, but trying to catch up on my {very} neglected blog!
