Despite not getting to spend time with my "kin" in Neola, this Thanksgiving was not a complete disaster. No one had diarrhea or vomited. Super big deal in this house. We actually had a great time, just our little family. We went out to eat (gasp!!) and loved not having to clean up a bunch of dirty dishes. Although, I will miss the leftover turkey casserole that I LOVE to make for the next day.. Oh well.. After lunch, we came home and hung out. Hanging out means, Todd plays "angry ducks"on his iphone with boys or they play a little Halo. Todd spear-headed getting all of the Christmas decorations out of the spare room in the basement. Maddie napped and the toddlers didn't (too excited with all of the Christmas decorations out). Sadie dried some dishes. Put up the old "fake" tree (Maddie says I am ruining Christmas because I bought a fake tree). Really fun to have everyone (including Todd) home to do Christmas prep together. I made two pies because I felt like a bad mom for not baking anything on Thanksgiving. Grandma and Grandpa Ashby came over and we had some pie and watched "Modern Family" which, I must say, is the funniest show, EVER! SOOOO FUN!!
My beautiful herd before we went out to eat...

Love Modern Family as well and nice pic of your little family all dressed up for Thanksgiving. We also didn't cook this year (nice, no clean up) but we got invited over to friends.
