Thanksgiving

We were so happy to spend Thanksgiving in MS this year. For the past three years, we were in Boston and not able to fly home. While we loved our Boston "Friendsgiving" traditions, we were excited to go home this year.
Chance and I flew home on the Sunday before and got some extra time in with our family while John drove on Wednesday just in time for all the festivities.
The VonEdwins crew came in from Little Rock early in the week so it was fun to visit and catch up with them and let Ryan and Chance play together.

Thursday morning we were busy cooking the dressing and sweet potato casserole at Marge and Big D's. The kitchen was full and lots was going on and it was so much fun! Big D was smoking his turkey on the Green Egg while Chris was frying a turkey and Mommo brought a turkey breast. We worked hard all morning and had beautiful spread for lunch.

 

The food was delicious and once we settled down a bit we took our annual family and group pics.

After the pictures John, Chance, and I loaded up and headed to the Kuevens house for Thanksgiving round 2. We had a non-traditional meal of buffalo wings made by Brad, along with his famous homemade fries (which are my favorite!). It was nice to hangout, watch the Egg Bowl, and eat more good food with family.

The following two days were divided between our families picking out Christmas trees, putting up lights, decorating, and enjoying time together.
Sunday came quickly and it was time to head back to Katy. We had a jam-packed few days and loved every second!
