Our Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We were able to host my Mother-In-Law and Father-In-Law this year and I really enjoyed it.

I had ambitious sewing plans, and in the end, I think I got just enough done. I made the napkins and the runner. I bought the table cloth. I think it all turned out great!

Ava helped me set up the table...

I made the wheat bread, deviled eggs, pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie bites, cranberry/orange cake, and the green bean casserole. My husband made the sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, corn, gravy, and turkey.

While enjoying some appetizers, Ava also enjoyed some "kid wine". I think she almost drank the entire bottle that day. She loves her some "kid wine".

Blake couldn't wait for dinner, and let's be honest here, he probably wouldn't have ate much anyway. So, he ate his favorite meal, Mac'N'Cheese. And for that, I'm sure he was very THANKFUL.

This was our first official Turkey, and Rob did a great job!

He was very proud.

After dinner, we enjoyed some family time...

and even got a family picture!

It was a wonderful day.

No time to bake a pie?

How are you feeling on this Thanksgiving eve? If you are like me, you have been baking all morning!

Since we are hosting Thanksgiving at our house, I've been baking away all week. Today, instead of making a traditional pumpkin pie, I made Pumpkin Pie Bites. I found them at Bakerella and thought it was such a cool idea!

I found that they needed to be baked them for 16 minutes, so keep an eye on them. I, of course, had to try one and they are delicious. I plan on serving them with a little bowl of whipped cream on the side.

Hope this helps with that last minute baking!
