Thanksgiving
This year for the holiday we went to my brother-in-law's house. It's a beautiful home and we had a great time.
But first, I spent the morning cooking by butt off! I made mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn bread, artichoke dip, goat cheese and fig spread, and sweet and spicy nuts. Check out my nuts!
Yum! While they baked, Brian and I made lots of comments about how good my nuts smelled. Yes, we are 5 years old.
There was a small setback.
Ouch! I burned my knuckle taking the nuts out of the oven.
Custom made centerpieces
Dinner is served
My brother-in-law's girlfriend has two adorable kids. Sydney finally warmed up to me. I just think she likes my crazy red hair!
That's Brian's grandma in the foreground and Brian on the left. I should have taken more pictures but we were having so much fun talking and laughing that I kept forgetting to snap pictures.
I really feel like the holiday season is getting started now. Check out these adorable stitch markers!

I am glad your nuts were a hit lol. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun hope the burn heals soon
Ouch! Got a recipe for those nuts? I think Willow made that same centerpiece in her first grade class.
I always burn myself! That or cut myself! Gotta keep sharp hot things from me! Glad you had great time! hugs
Your nuts look good ;-) Sorry about the kitchen injury. I'm always burning my hands taking things out of the oven. The racks seem to have a hidden attraction to my knuckles!
Nice nuts! (I feel like I should be watching Beavis and Butthead, huh, huh, huh I. said. nuts.) Anyways - great party! I love turkey day!
Is your red hair natural?
I LOVE IT!

From one 5 year old to another...I love me some sweet and salty nuts.
Family dinners make you crazy during prep, but are so worth the effort. Glad everyone had a good time.
And I mentioned your link on the snoman contest ;)
Nice pictures! And I can only imagine the hits you're going to get when someone Googles 'check out my nuts!'
I hope the burn doesn't hurt too much! I love the centerpieces and those are some nice looking nuts.
Your spiced nuts look yummy and you need to post the recipe!
Nuts look good, but I'm a weenie when it comes to spicy foods 8(
Those nuts sure look mighty tasty:) Where did you get the recipe from? I would like to make some of my very own! Oh and I totally feel your pain about the burns from baking, I have a very "good" one from pumpkin pie, etc..
Owie ~ those must have been some hot nuts! LOL. I totally burn myself all of the time, so I get it. I have tiny burn scars all over my hands! Glad you had such a nice Thanksgiving.
