Our Thanksgiving Birthdays

Our family celebrated Thanksgiving and Hilary's and my birthdays early because Kyle and Hilary are away this week.  (Look, I already put my tree up!  haha that's a first.)

Darryl snapped this one late in the evening.

This is a centerpiece that I made from stuff in my yard.

I fell down on the job of taking pictures on our celebration day and didn't get any of Ryan and Shauna, so I took this one a couple of days later.

A toast before dinner

You want some?

My charcuterie board.

Trying something new: Chocolate red wine and EggNog white wine.

The 2 birthday girls cooking together.

I'm so calm...lol 

I decided to try a fully cooked (smoked) turkey this year so I wouldn't have to worry about it being "done".  Well, never again.  It tasted awful.  Don't tell anyone, but I threw out a lot of the leftovers.  Next year I will completely rethink my menu.

Darryl doing the usual (with Wilson)...zzz...while the kids and I played games and laughed loudly.

Hilary made this amazing peanut butter birthday cake with a surprise inside!  Yummy!!  I already gained too much weight. 

 Now we need to get ready for our annual family Christmas sleepover.
