Thanksgiving at our house

We hosted Thanksgiving this year. It was my first time so that was exciting. Mom and Olivia arrived first and Logan and Tiffany and Ty came the next day. JP and Kathy both couldn't come because of work and we missed them! Everyone helped with dinner and Logan cleaned up every last dish on his own so it was pretty great! 

Mom brought a fun game to play with the kids. It's like I-Spy disney style. The kids loved it. 


I made pies the day before. I made a mixed berry lattice and a key lime pie and bought a pumpkin pie from Costco.

Lots of baby snuggles 


It was nice to have everyone help with dinner. We had turkey, potatoes and gravy, deviled eggs, stuffed mushrooms, vegis, home made rolls (Paul's favorite), fresh cranberry salad, and Mom made her excellent stuffing recipe. 


We did a little Black Friday shopping. Susie was a brave girl and decided she wanted to go with us. 


The next day we had lots of snow and put up all our Christmas decor. The Christmas season is officially here! We also had a Garbett family Christmas party. It was so fun to see all my cousins! 







Olivia was so dedicated while she was here, she made time to study. Nursing school doesn't come easy. She also always makes spending time with the kids a priority. They were sad to say goodbye. 



Timothy is 3 months old now and is a dream baby. He brings so much extra joy to the family! Did I mention he is sleeping through the night now? Hurray!!! He has rolled over a few times, hardly ever cries, and has 1 tooth already.
