This year we were supposed to be headed to Vegas for Thanksgiving but with everything going on with the house we really felt like we needed to be home. It ended up being a super big deal that we were here. Lots of things got accomplished and many decisions had to be made it would have been really stressful to be gone for sure. But originally we thought we would just get KFC and eat in the family room on the bare floor. It would be a fun memory but with the activity going on with the house it was better if we stayed out of the way so we decided to do Thanksgiving with Brit and their family. Brit had said they wanted to go the more traditional route when I suggested KFC but ultimately after discussions of the mess and clean up we voted that KFC was the best option and it didn't disappoint. Matt and I stopped to pick it up on the way to Brit's house and when we got there we ate. Brit had made some stuffing to go with it so we had everything for a great Thanksgiving dinner.
We had chocolate and pumpkin pie for dessert
Em was even hungry for her Thanksgiving dinner(sweet potatoes) she had 2 jars worth!
After dinner since we didn't have hours of clean up Brit and I visited while the boys worked on their basement and the kids played.
Holidays like this remind me that its more about being together then what or where you are eating. While we were at KFC we saw a sign for a cajun turkey that we may just have to try next year. I really liked getting to enjoy dinner without all the work of cooking and the clean up.
