Thanksgiving Tidbits

We hosted Thanksgiving at our house again this year. We're getting better at it. We stuck to our plan this time and had a very nice day.

My sister inspired me to make a banner for the mantel. I did cheat and didn't string it like she did, but I was still happy with my little project.



Mom arrived on Wednesday with our Mack dog. She had been puppy sitting for us the previous weekend when we were in Port Aransas. She was so diligent in getting him back in the house safe and sound that she locked her keys in her car. Luckily, she has roadside assistance and the service was there within 30 minutes.



Here's us modeling a wedding gift we received. Mr and Mrs aprons. Neal did the "heavy lifting" of the cooking and I did the easy stuff. Every went smooth and drama free.



I made a couple of Pecan pies. Here's my Betty Crocker pose.



We did our table a little fancier this year. Still no real dining room table. You can tell we've gotten married in the past year. Real tablecloths, crystal candlesticks, matching dishses, crystal vase. Our Thanksgivings are growing up as we are.



Ite, Neal and Mack watching football. I can't really remember if this was the Cowboys game or the UT game. I think it was the UT game because most everyone was napping in the afternoon during the Cowboys game.
