Thanksgiving!

This year was my FIRST YEAR EVER preparing a Thanksgiving dinner. Well, that's if you don't count mine and Jeremy's first Thanksgiving together when I served pre-cooked turkey breast, instant mashed potatoes, and Kraft mac and cheese. I would say that everything turned out pretty good. I was grateful to have two helpers in the kitchen - Abigail and our friend from church, Ronda. Unfortunately, Abigail wasn't feeling good so she slept for a lot of the day, but she was able to help with the pumpkin pie before she crashed. We had several friends over for dinner. There were NO leftovers (except for pie). I hope that's a testament to my cooking! I made turkey, baked mac and cheese, homemade mashed potatoes, green beans that cooked alllllllll day long, stuffing, and pumpkin pie, just to name a few. Here are photos to prove that I can actually cook. It may not look pretty, but it was edible.

Trick or Treat!

We had an AWESOME Halloween! We went to Boo at the Zoo, the church Halloween party, and Trick or Treating in our neighborhood. Abigail really racked up on lots of candy. I was pretty happy! For Boo at the Zoo and the Halloween party Abigail dressed up as Minnie Mouse. Then, to go Trick or Treating she had a change of heart and decided to wear Mom's pirate accesories from the party. She was the cutest little pirate I've ever seen.
