Our Turkey Day

Since I moved to Nebraska and became a military wife, I've learned that holidays are what you make of them.  If you can't go home for the holidays, you make the most of them with the people around you.  Every year Braydon and I try to have our friends over to create our little military "family".  It's made up of any of our military friends that don't go home for the holidays.  We have done it every Thanksgiving and Christmas.  This year we got to celebrate Sydney's first Thanksgiving and she loved it.  She tried stuffing, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes.  She really liked the stuffing and shoveled it into her mouth.  She didn't really care for the cranberry sauce but that's okay...just more for me. :)

Shoveling the stuffing in her mouth. hehe



Landon may look like he's crying or in pain...no.  That's his smiling face. :)


Landon sat at the big kid table with us and did a number on his plate too.  He loves mashed potatoes and turkey so we didn't have to fight with him much to get him to eat. :)

We are so thankful for our wonderful friends and for my family's health this year.   Thank you to our military family for your help with Thanksgiving dinner!  We are so glad you put up with us! ;)
