Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a terrific Thanksgiving weekend and hope that everyone else did too! We started it out by making a trip to the pumpkin patch and hay maze on Saturday morning. What an awesome fun time we had! The kids enjoyed picking out pumpkins and running through the hay maze. We thought a corn maze was just a little bit much for our little ones so we opted for the hay maze. We found the perfect pumpkins of the bunch. And wow, were there ever a lot of pumpkins! Sunday was spent pretty much all day preparing our huge feast. We prepared it on Sunday but had Skip's brothers family over on Monday. We wanted to be able to visit without having to worry about slaving away in the Kitchen the whole time. It was a wonderful meal. We made a pumpkin pie for Sunday's dessert and for supper we had turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberries, and maple syrup vegetables. It was delicous! On Monday we had the same except for I made an apple-cranberry crisp with homemade vanilla bean ice cream. What a treat. We had a spectacular weekend enjoying the 6 inches of snow that we got. (It felt like Christmas!) The kids, daddy, and Uncle Riley went outside and made a snowman on Monday. What fun they had! (Except Duncan pulled off his mitts and got super cold so all he did was whine the whole time.) Anyway, here are a few pictures for your enjoyment.
