The Burnetts: Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is my second favorite holiday just barely under Christmas. I love getting together with family, cooking and of course eating! Every year since Eric and I have been together we host thanksgiving. I love that both of our families get to be together, especially with little William in the mix. This year we hosted it but had to have it at my folks house. Our families have out grown our little mobile. We had my parents, Eric's parents, my bro with his wife and two kids, Eric's sister and boyfriend, Eric's grandma and my bro's father in law. 16 in all! The day started out just as planned. William and I made it over to my parent's house early and got the bird started. Then I started to prep the rest of the meal when the little guy decide he was hungry. So off to feeding him while my dad finished the prep.
When Eric's family got there we started a game of canasta, but then my little guy wanted to eat again! So off we went! When I started to cook everything else for dinner, guess what, Will wanted his mama! What is this breastgiving! I don't think my lil guy had ever eaten so much! Thank goodness my dad is a chef and could whip up the meal in a jiffy! And of course right in the middle of dinner, oh mother dearest he cried! He ended up with a bottle!
After feeding our faces a traditional thanksgiving feast of turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, peas, green beans, dill carrots, rolls and gravy it was nice to sit around the fire place and relax while watching a football game. Then when our tummies grumbled we cut into dessert! Triple chocolate cheesecake, double layer chocolate mousse cake or pumpkin cheesecake were our choices. I went for the trifecta! Luckily Eric split it with me! Plus my boy new better then to interrupt mama while eating chocolate! The day went great! Not as planned or as usual but that doesn't matter on thanksgiving. All that matters is that we could all be together and celebrate being thankful for one another! I have the best family and I am so thankful for each of them!

My Thanksgiving Hog!!
