Our First Thanksgiving

This was our first Thanksgiving all by ourselves. Andy is so nice that he wouldn't have cared what I made, but I wanted to put in at least a little effort so I chose a few recipes that you can just mix everything together and throw it in the oven. I think everything turned out pretty well. We spent the rest of the day watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (and missing New York), watching football (and by "we" I really just mean Andy), watching a couple of silly ABC Family Christmas movies, and trying to wrangle the children for pictures. Here are some for you to enjoy.

Our Thanksgiving meal: stuffing (from a box, nothing fancy), sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, ham (we're not big Turkey people), cheddar bay biscuits, and funeral potatoes. We also had a store bought pie for dessert (again, minimal effort on my part, but my sweet husband didn't mind).

The reason why we only have one good picture, Macy went wild and tried to take out her brothers.

I think we all had a pretty good day. We may just have to do it again next year!
