{Thanksgiving}

We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving!
We were able to travel down to South/North Carolina Thursday morning and spend the weekend visiting with Dad's sister and brother who only live about 40 minutes from each other.
Aunt Bonnie had to work on Thursday and we had to travel down Thursday as well, so they decided to celebrated Thanksgiving on Friday at Uncle Paul's house.
As always, they completely outdid themselves! There was more than enough food and it was all so delicious!


Uncle Paul made 1 smoked turkey and 1 deep fried turkey.
They were both gorgeous and tasted amazing!


Cutting, cutting, cutting.

On Saturday, some of us did some gluten free grocery shopping with Aunt Bonnie, and Dad helped Uncle Paul put up his outdoor Christmas lights and decorations.


Chicken Wings for Saturday night

                       
Bloomin' Onions and French Fries to go with the wings.


Dinner on Sunday


Sunday night after church, Aunt Bonnie had an ice cream party.
Aunt Beverly's daughter, Barb, was in from Washington, and they were all
able to come over. It was so nice getting to visit with them.

           
Amber made such a yummy Breakfast Monday morning.

Thank you, Aunt Bonnie, for letting us stay at your house and for all of your hard work in fixing all the food and everything else you did!!
Thanks, Uncle Paul for the yummy food you made!
Thanks, Amber, for the amazing breakfast on Monday! I'm going to need those recipes!
There's nothing better than spending Thanksgiving with family!
