so thankful for a lovely thanksgiving

our thanksgiving weekend was a fabulous one.

raider enjoyed playing in the leaves, 

and long walks in the park.

we had a little too much fun with my dad's decapitated life-size singing santa,

and decorated the christmas tree.

 my mama and i baked a yummy apple pie, 

and raider helped clean up the floors.

 bub-hub and i enjoyed two family thanksgivings, complete

double servings of mama's sweet potato casserole and homemade rolls.

and we cheered on baylor and tech at cowboys stadium. 

how was your thanksgiving?

today, i am thankful for:
two loving families,
a sweet puppy that loves to cuddle,
beautiful blue skies and cool mornings,
sweet potatoes and homemade rolls,
taylor swift and eli young on road trips,
the freedom to gather around a table with family and friends,
sweet friends from near and far. :)

what are you thankful for?

what i would serve for thanksgiving...

the hardest thing about thanksgiving is picking and choosing what to cook and serve and eat. i'm not sure how your family works, but in my family, we are each asked to request one of our favorite dishes, and that helps my mom narrow down her thanksgiving menu.

too many yummy things to eat.
