A Week of Thanksgiving!

I think it was a much needed break for everyone. I spent some time with family and friends back in Soda Springs.

 We celebrated my dad's 51st birthday on Saturday with dinner and lots of laughs with my grandma, sister Misty, brother in law Nick, their two kiddos Kira and Trent, and my nephew Jordan. I also got to see my mom and step dad.

One thing I didn't inherit from my mom was her love of all things holidays. She is one of the most creative people I've ever met. Check out these turkey sugar cookies she came up with! Aren't they awesome?

I also cooked a lot this year, which I haven't done much of. I made Ambrosia Salad (a yummy fruit salad that my grandma usually makes every year), three pies (with homemade crust)-- one apple, one pumpkin and one cheesecake pumpkin with a walnut streusel topping, devilled eggs, and stuffed mushrooms. It was pretty yummy I must admit!
I can't wait to hear how everyone else spent their week!
