Thanksgiving in our new house!

It's so fun to be in our new house... I know I need to post pictures... (this post has a few you can see of the house) I've been unpacking till the wee hours of the morning trying to get organized. But my big incentive was to have most of it done before Thanksgiving. My mom came for the week and it was such a treat. She helped me get some projects done and the kids loved being with her. After living with her for 4 months, we've really gotten used to always having her around. I was going into Mommy with drawls, so this was such a great week for me. (I'm such a mama's girl) We had a great Thanksgiving... it was nice and laid back, since it was just us. My mom and I cooked all Wednesday, so Thursday wouldn't be a big deal. We did our traditional BBQ ed Cajun Turkey, with Sausage and Jalapeno Cornbread Stuffing, Rolls, Candied Yams, Green Bean Casserole, Homemade Cranberry Sauce, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy.. and Bacon Wrapped Scallops for our appetizer... so yummy. Oh, and we also had our traditional Butternut Squash and Apple Bisque for an appetizer. Wow... I need to hit the gym...! But it was all so yummy and so fun to have a holiday in our new house. It makes it feel that much more like home to make memories. After dinner we sat around the table and talked with the kids about what we were grateful for. Brent and Taylor were really sweet and both talked about how grateful they were for Jesus and for their family.
