Thanksgiving

Melina got Courtney this "Little Turkey" onesie for her birthday. It's stinkin cute!

She also hosted Thanksgiving this year, and went totally all out. She even made prime rib and ham to go with the turkey and her sweet potato surprise is the best thing i've ever tasted. aaaah yummmm..... The table was beautifully decorated and everything on it was delicious...except for the jello salad i was assigned...it turned out to be more of a jello fudge than a salad...who knew you were suppose to "whip" the whip cream? well, now I know for next year. (assuming they dare assign me anything next year).

Courtney went to town with her thanksgiving plate. I've never seen her eat so much corn and rolls! Apparently Melina cooks better than I do, because Courtney loved it!

The guys (and Katy) went downstairs and watched Wall E while Melina, Mom, and I did a Christmas puzzle upstairs.

Courtney was fascinated with everything on Melina's fridge. Or maybe she's trying to get into it for leftovers.

After eating at Melina's, we went to Jeremy's mom's house to...yep, eat again! It's amazing how much Jeremy can eat without getting full, jeez! I made Dawn pose for a picture so I would have one of her for the blog and scrapbook. haha ; )

Here's Jeremy's aunt, uncle, and cousin.. diane, wesley, and i'm drawing a blank on her husband's name..which is going to drive me crazy until i remember it...
Mmmm...pie... no matter how stuffed you are, there's always room for pie.
After eating at Dawn's house, we went back out to Melina's to watch the new Indiana Jones movie.

We hung out in the living room while waiting for Devin and Katy to come back.
Here they are... I wonder if that's what Jeremy and I look like..him so tall and me so short! Of course, Katy's legs are bent and she's leaning downward, so they don't normally look quite that funny! Oma and Jaz

Once everyone had come back, we played Thanksgiving Bingo... here's Melina explaining the rules. The winner gets a gift certificate to Applebees! And here's Jeremy being not-so-subtle with his finger. Apparently he'd been doing that all day in all the pictures.

Courtney helped me play...by eating the crayons. mmm.....

Jeremy marking off his bingo card

I won! Looks like we're going to Applebees for dinner soon!

Brigham loves Courtney... or, atleast he loves to chase her around and give her squeezes.
Here's Baby Jakey. He's such a cutie.

I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving!

wow, that is a ton of Thanksgiving that you had. How great that Melina has become such an accomplished cook, but if I'm correct it wasn't always like that:) Congrats on going to Applebee's! (I can't believe it wasn't to Jakers!)
