Thanksgiving

We hosted Derek’s familys’ Thanksgiving this year. We hosted 80 people! Liv was totally upset and thought it isn’t Thanksgiving if it isn’t at Jennifer’s house, but it ended up being a great day.  Lots of prep gathering enough tables and chairs for everyone.  We cleaned out the garage and set up a bunch of tables and chairs in there.  

Food wasn’t too bad because everyone brought stuff to shar.  Derek smoked two turkeys and they were fantastic.  I made mashed potatoes and gravy and cranberry sauce. 

Luckily, it was a lovely warm day, so people were able to go outside and play pickleball and basketball.  It also wasn’t too cold in the garage.  I didn’t know but the kids snapped a photo of themselves on Thanksgivng- they all love Thanksgiving.  

Everyone stayed till almost midnight playing games.  Then, people went home, Chase spent the night.  And the next morning we had Steph’s family and Grandpa all over for breakfast and they helped us take down all the tables and chairs.  Then the kids played games with their cousins all day.
