Thankful!

I know it's a little late, but I just can't skip over anything! So here's Thanksgiving. We had a great one! We went to Derek's grandparents house on Thursday and celebrated with my family on Saturday. For Derek's, I made a custard pie for the first time! It's an old family recipe. And it's a secret, so don't ask for it! My dad is very protective of it. Anyway, it turned out great! Probably because Tyson helped me make the crust. And the weather that day was beautiful! We were outside the whole time. Here are some pics.




For my families celebration, I made home made apple dumplings. This was also something that my dad always made growing up. I have made them before, so it wasn't my first time. They came out great. I also made the table center pieces. I traced the boys hands and feet and made turkeys. They were so cute, but very time consuming! The day was fun filled! I made home made caramel sauce and had my grandparents play WII bowling to see who got to take it home. My great aunt Katherine won, but everyone did well! Then we got the parents to play Mario Cart on WII. That was a blast! Poor aunt Beth could not get the hang of it, but she sure tried hard! Here are some pics.
