What a FUN weekend!!! We had Thanksgiving #1 Friday night with American friends. It worked out both nights that Max had his Thanksgiving meal with us :)



It was so nice having Thanksgiving with Americans and explain NOTHING!! It was great also to have Sam and another friend's husband there to keep us laughing at ourselves. They DO NOT do jello type salads AT ALL WHATSOEVER with dinner. That is dessert. In fact, my mother in law was mortified in the states one time when she made a jello salad and everyone started eating it at dinner. She reminded us about again Saturday night. I will say that Sam went back for seconds on TWO things...the sweet potatoes and the pretzel/strawberry jello salad!!! I was shocked! I LOVED IT!

The food was great, the friends were great and the night was perfect! We sat on the deck and enjoyed Thanksgiving





The AFTERMATH....the first round of eating was done :) We definitely had more later




THANKSGIVING #2

Saturday night we spent the evening at Sam's family. It was his first trip to Nana and Papa's house. We both were still feeling a little under the weather (we both got Sam's cold). But he did so GOOD! Again he ate while we did...he couldn't be left out :)

I didn't make his family play Thanksgiving Trivia this year :) I did make name cards for everyone with little Thanksgiving notes inside. I made mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and an apple pie. His family even liked the sweet potatoes! My mother in law had seconds!! No one else really had seconds...Tom might have but me and Debbie did for sure! It was such a fun family dinner, my favorite we have ever had. Tom's sweet girlfriend, Nicky, came too and experienced the crazy that is our family. :)
Example of the crazy....My mother in law just got a new hair cut and at dinner she announced that now her and Sam have matching haircuts. Tom and I looked at each other then at Sam and Debbie and DIED LAUGHING!! We all laughed SO hard and laughed forever! It was my favorite family moment EVER!.







HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS!!!
