Thanksgiving 2009

Our Day of Thanks 2009 was spent in Dallas, Texas! Aunt Millie and Luke hosted their first Thanksgiving as husband and wife at their house and it was wonderful! Nana and Papa G came down from Powderly but I didn't get any pictures of them :(

Shelby was dressed in her pretty outfit from Misty at All Tuckered Out and she was workin it!





Within an hour she had wiped her red strawberry mouth all over both sleeves and somehow she ended up with red tomato seeds all over her back. Still, the outfit was just darling!

Jeff got up at 3 am to start smoking our turkey. It was his first time to smoke a turkey and it was amazing!




After taking a bite my mom said, "This is probably the best thing I've ever tasted in my life." Kudos Jeff!!!!

Sissy and Cole just ran around all day...Mill and Luke have several rooms to hang out in, and 2 huge backyards. The kids just explored and played.


Luke and Millie also made a turkey (using Alton Brown's brine recipe.)
It was SO moist and so good. The best roasted turkey I've had.



The host picture...


Reminds me of ours in 2007...

(Now what the hell was I thinking with that short hair??) YUCK!!!!

They put up one of the signs from their wedding. CUTE!



Here are the Jones girls in the kitchen. We all contributed by making/bringing a couple of things and therefore the meal prep wasn't stressful for anyone! That's the way to go!















Not sure what is going on here but it's a funny picture.


Oh yeah! Anna had fun too!


Family, laughs, fun. It was a great day!
