Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving activities began with candy apple turkeys. We invited a neighbor over on Monday night and created them at Callie's house. This is one of Casey's family traditions and the kids love it. Then on Wednesday, Ashley and I went over to Callie's and we had a pie party. We made all our pies for Thanksgiving. It was so fun! Ashley made apple pie in a bag, I made 2 cranapple pies and a strawberry raspberry, and Callie made some mile high strawberry pies and a banana creme pie. A friend stopped over and we had a blast visiting and baking! Plus on Thursday morning I could just relax! No frantic pie making! What a concept!
On Thursday we went bowling with my parents, Callie & Brandon, and the missionaries. It was really fun. As usual I got a lot of gutter balls, and Olivia got a double strike, much to Brooklyn's displeasure. Brooklyn had a little melt down about not winning, she gets a little to competitive sometimes. Then we headed over to my parents for Thanksgiving dinner! My mom made some yummy cranberry sauce with kind of a citrus flavor and the "Beautiful" pie, Callie made yummy rainbow jello, and Ashley made 12 layer salad. Cody was awesome, he was just happy in his highchair, and our other 3 kids feed and serve themselves, so Casey and I had a very relaxing meal! Then we watched a movie and ate pie.
