Thanksgiving was at our house this year. My husbands family came in to town for the holiday and we invited two couples from church. I had made place cards for the grown up table and Ethan decided that the kids table deserved to look just as nice so he made place cards and decorated their table. I don't cook whole turkey, usually we fry one. This year fried turkey was rejected so I compromised by baking stuffed turkey breasts (stuffed with cherry pie filling and stuffing mix with a cherry and pecan sauce). It turned out well, very tender. The older kids played with the little ones, taking them out on the zip line and playing Wii with them. So nice to sit at the grown up table and not have to jump up every 5 seconds to help a child!

My husband's birthday is always around Thanksgiving so we celebrated as a family.
Thankful for friends.
