Thanksgiving 2012

Derek and I were able to take off the entire week of Thanksgiving to spend time together.  We kicked off the holiday with a trip to Illinois to pick up the tractor .  Everything went very smoothly, and Jocelyn was a champ in the car for 14 hours (she and I flew up there to meet Derek, and drove home together). 

We hosted Thanksgiving this year and invited everyone!  We had 11 people, and everyone brought something yummy to eat!  Derek and I made the turkeys for the meal and decided that we wanted to try and fry one.  If you have never done this, its pretty cool and the turkey is VERY good. 

Yes, he rides it around the neighborhood.....

We also took Jocelyn to see Santa.  Sorry for the poor picture quality (I had a digital download issue-so this is a picture of a picture).  She did pretty good, but as you can tell from the look on her face....she was not digging Santa.  It was kind of hilarious.  She did what mommy wanted, which was take a picture, then she was out!! 

 

Overall, we had a great Thanksgiving...I can't believe it has already come and gone :(  BUT, we decorated the house for Christmas, and now I am excited!!
