Thanksgiving weekend

This year was our first Thanksgiving away from family. I was a bit worried about making a Turkey but Robert actually took over and made, no lie, the best turkey I have ever ate, it was delicious! Robert told Cody that it was made with love so he had to try some, he had been telling us all day that he was not going to eat any turkey but we managed to bribe him into taking a couple of bites. He was so funny and made a gagging face and chased it with juice but then 2 seconds later said that it was good and that he could taste the love. We also started a tradition of having a Thanksgiving watermelon, we just saw it at the store while we were shopping and Cody had to have it so we incorporated it into our menu. Jake decided that he needed a nap right before we ate so he got to try some turkey when he woke up and he loved it!

Cody was so antsy to get the Christmas decorations out so we put the tree up a little early this year and put Cody's little one up in his room too. He had fun decorating. I gave him much more creative freedom on the one in his room, he did it all by himself, as you can tell because it's a bit bottom heavy. We have our tree in the family room in a corner and then we have a pillow barricade in attempts to keep Jake away from it. He has gotten pretty good at climbing the wall of pillows in hopes of grabbing a ornament though.

All in all it was a great weekend and whether the potato's and stuffing came from a box or from scratch we enjoyed every bite! Happy Thanksgiving!
