Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a great Thanksgiving!

For the first time ever since we've been married, we've had family come to our house for Thanksgiving-or any holiday for that matter! I got to cook everything and get everything all ready for the big meal. My mother-in-law helped me with my first turkey! And Mom Mom made Eastern shore dumplin's - those were yummy!

Aaron's Mom, Dad and Grandma came on Wednesday, and we had our Thanksgiving meal that day. They had to leave the next day to bring our old car to Aaron's sister Erica in Utah that she bought from us - she was supposed to come too but she had to work :( We missed you!

But we had a fun day with them! Here's some pictures:

And since we were done with "Thanksgiving" on Wednesday, my MIL Teresa helped me get my Christmas tree up. We got it up and lights on before she left. And then since we had nothing to do on Thanksgiving I got to finish the tree and decorations. It was actually really nice to just sit at home all day and relax. Aaron hasn't had any time to do that since he got back from Arkansas.
So back to the story.......I was saying how I needed a new tree topper because the old one I had didn't really match my new ornaments and I gave it to my friend. So I need a new one. I was finishing putting on the ornaments when Aaron had a GREAT idea for a tree topper (being sarcastic here!). This is what he came in the room with:

Yeah, it's a St Louis Cardinals hat on the top of my tree. NOT happening buddy! He said "but it matches the colors!"

Ha ha, thanks but NO THANKS! I'm still looking for a topper...........
