Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year, Kris' parents came to visit.

Marilyn and I busied ourselves in the kitchen making everything you can imagine. We had way too much food! We made a turkey, ham, company potatoes, corn, green beans, squash casserole, mac and cheese, rolls, and two desserts (plus appetizers). Somehow I didn't even manage to get a picture of the food.

We had leftovers for days. As a matter of fact, it's been 6 days and I think we still have a few things in fridge now. 

On Thanksgiving we always put up the tree. Liam helped out by playing with the boxes and eating tissue paper. 

Kale loved putting up the tree and was actually a huge help this year. 

I love the time of the year when we get to put up the tree. I love turning off the lights and having only the tree on while watching TV...so relaxing. 

Kale got a kick out of "pretending" to eat. I set the table for Thanksgiving dinner and Kale promptly climbed into the seat and started pretending to cut his food with his fork and knife. It must have been a pretty filling pretend meal because he didn't eat any actual food.
