Thanksgiving 2011



This year we had Thanksgiving at our house with just the three of us and Cory's friend, Alex.  This was the first time that I did not have Thanksgiving with the family! I had to cook the dinner! Mom gave me all the ingredients and directions on how to cook everything so I felt pretty confident! I must say I think I did pretty good!  We had fried turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing, green beans, Texas rolls, chocolate and pumpkin pie... it was delicious!


Who you calling a turkey?

I feel like I don't have any pictures with him so I took a lot on Thanksgiving!

Brody's 2nd birthday party


Today we celebrated Brody's 2nd birthday with his friends! Brody loves Handy Manny and is obsessed with tools!  We bought a bounce house at Target and the kids loved it.
