Well, we made it through our first holiday at home as a family:) It was relaxing not to travel, but we really missed being with family. Silas and I were adventurous and decided to tackle the traditional holiday cooking all by ourselves. I was a little nervous, but we did much better than I expected!! Silas cooked his first turkey, which turned out fantastic!! It was really moist and flavorful:) I made the pumpkin pies, corn bread and dressing, and green beans. Silas finished up with his mashed potatoes and creamed corn. I haven't made the sweet potato casserole yet, since we are still eating on all the other food! That may come next week! All in all we had a great time cooking and eating. We also realized again what we already knew....our kitchen is way too small to do anything in, and makes cooking rather difficult! oh well, we still had fun. Here are some pictures of the table setting and the bird. I also included some of Ty on his first Thanksgiving day:) He slept through the actual meal, so I actually got to eat a plate of food at the table!! Yay!! We went over to some friend's house to eat and spent the day eating, hanging out and relaxing. It was great to slow down and have a laid back day. We also watched plenty of football. Tyson really is fascinated by the game, and has fun watching too:)

The turkey looks great, and so do the decorations! Missed you a bunch. Love you.
I love Ty's little jeans...don't you just love baby clothes? It has become almost addicting buying new clothes and hair bows for Olivia.
