Thanksgiving 2012

Happy Thanksgiving!  We had such a great day!  The weather was nice and with my Gran's help, we successfully made a pretty tastey dinner!

Reagan made the sweet turkeys for everyone's place setting!  Thank you Pinterest for the idea and the craft activity that my daughter LOVES to have...daily ;)

Playing outside...swinging with Gramps!

Sweet Opa, Keith's dad, drove all night from Rochester to be here for Thanksgiving with us!

Reagan was SO cute helping in the kitchen!  We all had aprons on at one point and she kept saying over and over and OVER again how we were all chef girls making a feast :)  She loved being a helper!

Deep frying the turkey!  Let me tell you, this is the WAY to go if you're hosting a holiday!  My oven was FREE all day and the men were occupied for awhile outside :)  Not to mention it was DELICIOUS!  Thank you Davis' for letting us borrow your fryer!

Lovely Reagan asked Opa for a dance...

So sweet!

I was just a little busy after that point to take any pictures, but we had a yummy dinner and ate just a few minutes after 4, with the E.T.E. (estimated time of eating) being 4, so we did well!  We had a great time!  We played a little game of Thanksgiving Trivia, which Keith won and then had dessert.  We sang Happy Birthday to Opa since his birthday is next week.

It was such a great day and we are so thankful to have had family and a friend here to share the day with us!  We were thankful to not have to travel, but it was different not being with the normal crew :)

I am pretty thankful for these two turkeys too...I sure love them to pieces!!

And since we weren't with all of our family, everyone got a little something in the mail!  We had quite the coloring marathon one afternoon :)
