Thanksgiving

As usual, the last week has flown by--I can hardly believe that Thanksgiving was 6 days ago.  It's been another busy week here.

Last Thursday, Steve was on call from 8am-12pm.  Of course, he got a job at 11am, and had to meet us at my parents' house. 

My mom did the bulk of the cooking.  I brought rolls, broccoli, niblets corn, and dessert.  Those recipes were more fun: cherry cheese pie, chocolate heath bar trifle, mint chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter cream cheese pie with butterscotch/dark chocolate topping. Yum!

Steve arrived a while after we ate, so he had to heat his plate up.  That's okay, it's a time-honored tradition in my mom's family!

My mom found my old Monchichi doll!  Enjoy these pictures!

Monchichi!

He's wearing an outfit that my mom sewed for him. :)

That's Maddie, Monchichi and Mem!  Love the alliteration! :)

Around 5pm, we headed to our friends' home.  Fred & Faith are the kids' Awana teachers, and we just had a blast at their house!

The kids played "Life" and Wii, while we got to sit, chat & eat delicious desserts!  We didn't end up leaving until 11pm!

It was a really fun Thanksgiving, and I'm so thankful for that!
