Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. We went to my Mom & Max's house and the food was wonderful and in abundance. The Johansen's (Mom's side of the family) mostly came and they all have a problem (to our benefit) of making way to much food. The stuffing was my favorite this year dipped in gravy and mashed potatos, yum!!! Then the desserts were even better I made pecan pie and the kicked butt if I do say so my self. Thanksgiving just happened to fall on my Grandma Jo's 81st birthday this year (Happy Birthday again Grandma) and my mom made an amazing pumpkin cake for her, I think I had like 4 pieces through out the day and that is on top of the 2 pieces of my grandma's award winning shredded apple pie. The kids even ate everything. I have been pumping Logan up about how good the food was going to be for about a month now. He is a very picky eater and in years past has ended up eating a microwaved hotdog for his feast. But my plan worked and he at almost everything on this plate. He did leave he green beans and I don't blame him. He thought it was amazing that we would but marshmallows on orange potatos.

This is Logan on the drive down to my Parents house. It is 2 1/2 hours and both kids fell asleep thank goodness.



My mom the smart lady that she is covered all the kids tables with butcher paper and then let them color while we were putting the finishing touches on the dinner.



Then while dinner was winding down Devin (my brother) comes over with a dead cougar in the back of this truck!! Yes, he missed his Thanksgiving dinner with the in-laws because he shot a cougar with his bow. Crazy man!! It took 4 shots to kill it and it looked hammered. He assures us that when it is cleaned up it will be awesome. Logan thought it looked awesome anyway and kept touching it's paws to make the claws come out. Aubrey just kept telling everyone to shhh, because she thought it was sleeping.



We then finished the night hanging out at he Drew and Val LeRoy house. The men played poker and we girls chatted. We also stopped off the see Shanae's puppies. My cousin's yorkie had babies and they are so cute. Aubrey wasn't a fan for some reason, but Logan loved them. They will be ready for new homes right before Christmas if any one is interested. Just go to the Shanae and Jared Butler link from my blog.
