Happy Thanksgiving y'all!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving as a family of four. The day was great - sunny, but cold - and everyone was in a happy mood!
Brock helped me make some pancakes while Brent cooked us some "real bacon" from the meat market right up the street.
I believe this picture was from a few days prior, but we had fun on a little walk around the neighborhood too.
 Then it was time for some turkey cooking!! Brent stayed a safe distance from the house and set up his usual deep-frying station for the bird. Our way of bringing a little North Carolina up to the Pacific Northwest! Works great for me - Brent does the turkey and I get the kitchen alone to work on all the sides! Well... kind of alone...
Time to eat! I didn't have to tell brock twice (at least initially). Marshmallows first (from the sweet potatoes), then corn, then turkey (after asking for more marshmallows). He eventually ate everything on his plate except the cranberry sauce.

And he is loving his Pottery Barn Kids Reindeer plates! He loves choosing a different reindeer for every meal since!

Kade says he can't wait until next year when HE can have all this food on his plate too! (As I'm sure the dogs will be looking forward to another kid to sit under!)
