Thanksgiving

Ryan has been traveling more than usual this year and we feel like we haven't seen much of him around here.  We were all very happy for him to have the day off and we decided to do our own Thanksgiving by ourselves.  We really just wanted time to be together as a family. 

We started our day with pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast.  Ryan took Cannon to Taylor Park for a few hours while I cooked and had a mini nap.  Our feast was ready by 3:30 and we were ready to eat!  I even pulled out the fine china and sparkling cider! 

Ryan talked about what Thanksgiving means and we started a gratitude journal that will hopefully be a tradition every year.  The other thing Cannon wanted to do was decorate for Christmas.  Ryan got out our Christmas box and Cannon sorted out what was a decoration and what needed to go on the tree. He is so excited for Christmas this year!  We finished the day with some homemade pumpkin pie. 

Cannon's favorite part of the meal he said, "The rolls and marshmallows!"

That looks so yummy! I want to do our own thanksgiving so badly, especially for the leftovers! We spent it with my aunt and it was fun, but we didn't have any leftovers. :) Your day sounds wonderful!

I so loving seeing Cannon wear his Texas shirt so frequently in your pictures. This one is even better because I can tell he's got it on backwards, which is so Clay. I am glad Ryan was able to be home with you. The food looks amazing.
