We were invited by a couple in our ward (Paul & Cindee) that have 2 adorable kids (David & Eden) to celebrate Thanksgiving in their home. They invited another couple (Ben & Katie) that we have become good friends with. It turned out wonderful!
Jared and I made pumpkin, apple, lemon meringue, and banana pie. Well, actually, Jared made most of them...I'm not sure what I was doing!
The pies turned out pretty well, with exception to my apple pie. It was huge like a volcano, I'm not even kidding! There were so many apples that after it baked, the apples sunk down into the bottom crust and under the top crust it was just air, no apples! So it turned out kind of weird. I'm going to have to try it again another time to perfect it!
We were in charge of the drinks. So Jared had this idea; we froze pineapple and cran-rasberry juice in ice cube trays and put them in sprite. Pretty tasty! And Jared made his stuffed mushrooms that he loves so much.
And of course we forgot our camera! But Cindee took some pictures for us, so we'll see if we get those pictures developed...
After the dinner we all met over at another family's home in our ward who hosted a little game and dessert party. We had a fun time and enjoyed getting to know a few of the younger couples in the ward.
Earlier Thanksgiving morning Jared made the cutest indian hat for Christian and he took some pictures of it. So I thought I would post them and a few others.
Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! We are excited to go home for Christmas and for everyone to meet baby Christian, or should I say, CJ? That's what everyone is calling him now. At first I wasn't too keen on the nick name but now I've decided, what the heck? Why not?
