giving thanks

{our cute turkey table favors}

after work on wednesday, we headed down to my parents' house to help my mom prepare for thanksgiving.  we took leko with us, and he had a blast spending the last two days with us at "grandma and grandpa's house."

we enjoyed cooking, baking, spending time with family, and of course eating way too much.  we had a wonderful thanksgiving celebrating with the ones we love.  today we will be at home, staying far away from the craziness of black friday.  we sure are looking forward to polishing off thanksgiving left overs all weekend long too!
