Stuffed!!

21.5 pound turkey for us this year!

We had a nice gathering here, but in no way did it warrant that big of a bird.

Even if it was gorgeous and delicious (insert pat on the back)...if I do say so myself!

Kjell ready for the feast!

The Hagglof and Mourning families came over to total 6 adults and 5 kids and 1 puppy.

Not only did Derek whip up some awesome cocktails, but he brought killer sweet potatoes AND carved up the turkey. 

Nice having a chef in the house!

Just before dinner, the kids decorated some gingerbread man cookies. 

Love the concentration on their faces!

Piper and Kenzo were the first to sit down - they were pretty excited & ate great!

Cheers!!

Calvin getting after his drumstick! 

Six candles for Calvin's birthday - on the 1st.

Travis opted for his gingerbread cookie, decorated with just a few sprinkles...

Jen made kabocha squash pie and satsuma mandarin ice cream with pumpkin seed brittle - YUM! Again, nice having a chef in the house!

He really does know how to use his utensils, I promise.

The kids watched a bit of TV and pulled out every single toy that we have. 

Very thankful for our wonderful friends and for an amazing meal together!
