A Jolley Thanksgiving Dinner '11

 Just Me, Bryce and Benson for Thanksgiving this year.  It was so great and laid back.  I thought I'd be more sad and missing all my family, but our Thanksgiving was perfect. 
Don't you love how all my dishes match beautifully!  Classy right.  C-L-A-S-S-Y.  Pin this lovely spread...I dare ya. :)  I am not afraid to admit that I am too vain to show how terrible I looked after spending the entire day in the hot kitchen.  So I cropped myself out of this pic.  It wasn't pretty.  I saved you all a very sure fright.  Even though I did cook and bake all day, I loved each minute of it.  I didn't cook that chicken though.  Bryce had the idea of getting a rotisserie chicken in substitute for the turkey and I thought...BRILLIANT!  I was very happy with everything except my pumpkin cheesecake was not a cheesecake at all.  It was just a regular pumpkin pie.  What a misleading recipe. :)

I have so much to be thankful for, and sitting together with my little family for a nice meal is just one of the hundreds of things I am thankful for.  To name a few:  I am thankful... 
-To be able to be stay at home Mom and enjoy each moment of my son's life. 
-To have the most adorable and wonderful son on the planet.
-To have such a loving and hardworking husband who is pretty easy on the eyes.
-For the health and general well-being of my family.  Extended and immediate.
-For my Faith.
-For Singing Time in primary and all the smiles and hugs I get on Sundays.  Makes the hours of prep so worth it.
-For goodly parents who raised me to be a great wife and mother.
-For the safety I enjoy.
-For my beautiful home.
-For ZUMBA.
-For PUMPKIN Desserts of all kinds. 
-For my sisters who are my best friends.
-And last...for Thanksgiving to be over and now ON TO CHRISTMAS!

Wishing All A Very Happy Thanksgiving
