Nadia had a wonderful 1st Thanksgiving. We started the day by heading to my parent's house to help with Thanksgiving feast #1 (lunch). Brett's tree stood out to me as we pulled into the driveway with its bright orange leaves. Billy's mom made delicious pumpkin bread that I nibbled on with cream cheese. I made cream corn, and I tried to help put the other items together. Courtney and Heidi (Jordy was missed) helped get the appetizers on the table (one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving food). My dad, Heather, Chad, Mom, etc, helped with the rest of dinner. After eating appetizers, lunch, and dessert, we rounded up the gang and headed to Kevin's parent's house for Thanksgiving feast #2. To be honest, I didn't help make anything at his parent's house (was going to bring cream corn, but his brother Kent made some with smoked corn that was awesome!). Kent smoked a turkey, and his mom made one in the oven. Both were delicious. We sure missed having Von & Travor with us, but we look forward to seeing them next week. The boys were entertained by family at both houses (thanks aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, etc.). I'm thankful I have such wonderful family that live close by to spend the holidays with. I'm thankful for their cooking skills, too ;)
