We had a great Thanksgiving filled with so much wonderful yummy food! We went to my Aunt's house in Rexburg like we have done for the past few years. This year however I have a cousin and her little family who just moved up to the area as well. So we had more people which means more traditions to pull for which means more food. There was a ton and we enjoyed it all.
RJ and Savannah both helped make a dish. Savannah helped me make a layered Jello dessert. She was an excellent little helper. And she named each one of the layers. It was cute. The Raspberry/Blackberry layer she named Raspberry Tart, the Lime layer was just called Green, the Orange layer was Orange Blossom, the Lemon layer was Little Mermaid, and the Strawberry layer was of course, Strawberry Shortcake. It was very cute.
RJ helped Daddy make the pumpkin pies which turned out great! Every year we freeze our pumpkin we scoop out from our Halloween Jack-o-Lanterns and save it to make our Thanksgiving pies. This year we could have saved just a little more pumpkin. We didn't have quite enough to fill the crust. But there were lots of yummy pies, it didn't matter.

That evening Doug and Erica and their three cute kids stayed the night. They had come up from Utah to have Thanksgiving with some of their relatives. We enjoyed having them at our home and RJ loved entertaining the twins and baby Eden.
We had an enjoyable Cragio's Pizza lunch before they headed back to Utah. Nothing beats Cragio's!
Saturday evening we had Amy and her family over for dinner. Rylie and RJ played so well together, we hardly heard them. He seems to play better with the girls then he does the boys. Savannah and Madison were our little entertainers for the evening. They themselves a little band and performed many songs. It was too cute for words.

Every time I make that layered Jello I will remember that cute story! How she loves Strawberry Shortcake. When I got her the movie in August, RJ's remark "not again" reminded me of Jared when his little brother wanted to watch Land Before Time or Batman again and again.
Glad you able to spend time with familly and friends.
