Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

My mom insisted this year that I help her cook for Thanksgiving. She needed the help and I had never done it before. She thought it was about time I learned how. It's a good thing she made me do it because I'm so proud of what I did!

Cherry pie...

Pumpkin pie...

Apple pie...

The pies were what we got done on Wednesday night. While we were cooking, my friends Kelli and Jackie came to visit. Jackie was in town for Thanksgiving and it was the first time I got to see her baby bump! She's having a boy!

It was really fun to catch up with them. We've been friends since high school and still love each other to death! Our conversations are a little different now, though. :-)

Thanksgiving day arrived and my mom and I had a bunch more food to make.

I helped with a couple different kinds of potatoes, the green bean casserole, and a fruit salad. This is what we had minus the turkey.

And this is my parents dining room table. Isn't the setup gorgeous? My mom does a great job at making things look pretty.

Jexi and my parents dog, Tyler, loved getting fed scraps. Can you tell Jexi is on her hind legs?

After stuffing ourselves silly, we spent a couple hours playing games.

It was a fun couple of days! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving, too!
