Thanksgiving

While we prepared for the Thanksgiving feast Ella slept in her papasan chair. We could not get over the way she put her neck. We moved it into a more 'normal' position but she put it right back. She is so funny.

Pop pop got to feed and burp Ella, the first of her many Thanksgiving bottles.

For appetizers we had Winter Squash Dip, Crab Stuffed Shrimp, and great conversation with the family.
Memere got a big smile from Ella.

Daddy and Munch.

So cute!! Thanks Aunt Courtney for helping find this adorable outfit!

Mike and I are so lucky to have such a wonderful baby girl.

Uncle thought it was too cold to join us on the porch. I think he just wanted to take a nap.

We had a great spread!


Turkey, Bean's Beans, Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes, Mashed Potatoes, Corn Pudding and Corn Bread Pudding, Deer Sausage Apple Stuffing, and Gravy. It was wonderful to have to whole family help out with the dinner. We even had Uncle make a dish, corn pudding. We had a taste off between his own recipe of Corn Pudding and the Worthington's Corn Bread Pudding. Uncle won!! Great Job Uncle!!!

After dinner we had Bread, Cheese, and Fruit (brought by Memere and Pepere) Yes!! I can finally have Brie again (I had missed out for 9 months)

Aunt Jessie and Uncle Eric joined us for dessert. Aunt Jessie made a delicious Pumpkin Cheesecake and Pop Pop made a yummy pecan pie. We also had champagne and toasted Jessie and Eric's engagement.

After dessert we all hung out in the living room and enjoyed each others company.

Gama and Ella sleeping together. I never thought I would see Gama asleep at a family function. If you have been to one of our parties, you know she does not stop. I was so happy to see her relax! Good job Ella!!!

What a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
