I had prepped all week so the morning was laid back. We had picked up a gingerbread Turkey from Trader Joes for Lincoln to put together in the morning and then we made pumpkin spice chocolate chip cookies to deliver to our local fire station. Lincoln was so excited to drop off cookies and they took him back to see the big trucks and flash the lights. We didn't snap any photos, but you can be sure fun was had by all!
After that we headed back to the house to put Finn down for a nap and prep the appetizers. My parents came over a little after 11 to start the festivities and we had appetizers and mimosas all morning and afternoon while watching football.
We are pros at eating for the holidays so of course appetizers ran all the way into dinner. We sat down around 4:30 for dinner and after stuffing ourselves completely, we settled in for our annual Christmas movie marathon. Finn thoroughly enjoyed his first Thanksgiving and got to participate in all of the tastiness as well!
Both Kevin and I have been home for a long weekend so I've included a few additional photos here as well, including our holiday Christmas box that helped us kick off the official Christmas season. This year's box included Charlie Brown's Christmas movie and The Jolly Postman book, along with our annual family Christmas jammies!
We decorated the house yesterday, but have yet to go chop down our tree since Thanksgiving is so early this year. We're headed up next Saturday to tree hunt!
I hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving! It's the most wonderful time of the year!
