Thanksgiving!

It has been way too long since I blogged, so today I am going to attempt to catch up...starting with Thanksgiving! My parents and brothers joined us for Thanksgiving this year. The trip was way too short, but lots of fun! Some of the highlights were lots of eating, Clara jumping on the bed with whoever would put her on the bed, Gracie cuddling with whoever would hold her, our traditional trip to Parisi...yumm!, a little black Friday shopping, cutting down a Christmas tree, an early Christmas, and of course lots of yummy food! True to form, most of my pictures are of food...enjoy.

Our beautiful table. Each person had a custom painted pumpkin with their name on it.
I made Emirel Lagasse's herb roasted brined turkey and it was beautiful, moist, and delicious!
My mom and I tag-teamed on the pies this year. We had a classic apple and pumpkin and chocolate pecan (my new favorite!)
Here's the whole spread.
Ready to eat!
Our early Christmas. We were all spoiled. It was a great way to kick off the Christmas season!
We were sad to see them go, but are counting down to spring break!
