Thanksgiving

Yesterday was Turkey Day! We had a small Andrews family thanksgiving lunch this year and it was so nice to just relax and not travel. We missed all the extended family and Patterson family though! Everyone made food (mom brought most of it-thanks mom!) and it was yummy! We did it at our house so Derek could join before going into work that night. I love visiting family and traditions, but my family of 3 being together trumps all of that. Even if it is just for a few hours ;)

 

Some of our spread- it was all delicious and we made sure to make everyone's favorites!

 

Post Thanksgiving meal lounging. We over stuffed ourselves as usual!

Derek and dad fried us a turkey this year! It was our first time to try one and it was wonderful!

 

It was a funny process and included Derek having to run last minute to Winn Dixie. But he saved the day and no injuries happened thanks to these safe men! It was the most tender turkey I've ever had. Dad made a green egg smoked turkey too- my new 2 favorite turkeys! We'll be frying another one in a few months I'm sure.

Sweet face loved all the food!

We got blessed with Dad and Mom keeping the kids this morning while we met Jess for some shopping! I haven't been Black Friday shopping in years. It wasn't as crazy as we expected and we all got some great deals! It was nice having some girl time too :) Thanks parents!

 





Love these sisters (that look more like each other's sisters!) :)
