Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all our family and friends! We had a wonderfully relaxing Thanksgiving this year, since we only had one stop to make, and we were able to just relax and enjoy. The morning started out nice and lazy, Logan ran around half dressed all morning and watched some of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade for the first time. Logan seemed to like the big air floats the most while watching the parade. Brandi was busy finishing up making turkey leg rice krispie treats in the morning.

Matt got busy making the mashed potato's for the big feast, and by noon it was time to head over to Grandma and Grandpa Blume's. We packed in the car and made the long 2 minute trip down to their house...whew what a drive. As soon as we walked in we could smell Grandma's yummy Thanksgiving food cooking away and soon it was time to carve the Turkey, a tradition Matt has taken over in the past few years.
Working on the bird!

While everyone was busy getting lunch all fixed up and on the table, Logan helped himself to as many grapes as he could, which meant he was pretty full by the time we were ready to eat. Matt did manage to get him to eat some turkey, but Logan liked the grapes the best.

After dinner we all hung around and talked, and once we were ready, broke out the pies! Lot's of pumpkin pie's and one apple, and of course the rice krispie treats...yum. After desert it was time for the men to retire to the back room for football and the traditional after Thanksgiving nap. Once Logan woke up he was not a happy camper so it was time to go home. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and hope you all did as well! Let the countdown to Christmas begin!

The sign of a good Thanksgiving feast.
