An Idaho Thanksgiving



We spent Thanksgiving in Pocatello with my mom, George, and the Shelton's.  We drove up on Wednesday in order to get the baking started.  While Liza, Merrilee, and I worked on pies, stuffing, and sweet potatoes, the kids made "acorns" out of nutter butters, kisses, and chocolate chips.
 





I remember my mom wearing this apron when I was little.
Somehow Liza ended up with it, and we were happy to see it back on it's rightful owner.

Katie joined in for the festivities.

My cute mom and sister.

The kids were hungry for a big bird.

Despite the many offerings available, this kid wanted only a turkey leg for her Thanksgiving dinner.

Of course, then Charlie wanted a turkey leg too.
Also of course, neither one of them actually ate their turkey leg.
They just wasted it and then wanted a bone picture.

This is all we did Thanksgiving night...lay around, get fat, cuddle our kids, and plan our shopping for Black Friday. 

Check out that tongue.
 
We went through Logan on the way home to see the Judd-Murrays.  After a day of Thanksgiving fare, Indian food seemed just the ticket.  Kate has retained her adventurous palate she developed in the Philippines.  Kiki, not so much.  She ate a chicken leg and rice.

All in all, it was a fun holiday...Christmas here we come!  We are excited to have the holidays a little closer to home this year.
