Thanksgiving 2016

 Thanksgiving is not exactly my cup of tea....I hate to cook! But spending time with family, and stuffing your face until you can't move is pretty fun. It was a bittersweet year, this being our first year without grandpa Lynn and with my Uncle Deans recent passing. But they are in our hearts, and that's what matters most. 

Bretton and my mom did most of the Thanksgiving shopping. 

Dallynn changed his name to Buford Sanchez on Facebook, (he's so funny) but he tagged my mom and I in this picture...and even said "thank you". Sweet kid! 

Me and Dallynn worked our booties off and made lots of deviled eggs!with crumbled bacon on top. 

Bretton was in a normal teenage mood the whole day. 

Shane and Aunt Dixie came to eat!! 

Tj finally got to fry a turkey the way he wanted to!

Jace loved the cider....

Maybe a little too much.....hahaha!

Bretton and his dog Freckles. 

Me and Rae stuffed our tummies full!! 

Aunt Dixie's famous cinnamon rolls. She uses my Grandma Coralee's dough recipe. All the measurements are done by hand...look and feel. It's amazing! 

Before my Uncle Dean passed, he went to the early voting polls and made sure he got his vote in for Donald Trump. He told Shane that when he passes, if Trump won, he wanted Shane to go out a Trump sign on his grave. So that's what they did after we ate Thanksgiving dinner. Dean got his sign :) 

The whole crew that went down to the graveyard! Such a special moment. 

Later in the evening Lane, Tristan and Bretton headed out spotlighting!! Love these three boys so so so much. 

Shane summed up our feast pretty well on his Facebook post that night! :) 

We had such a wonderful day! This time of the year is my favorite because of the time gathered with family.
