Our Canadian American Thanksgiving

WOW!!! What a fantastic day. Since Trevor's Thanksgiving was last week and alot of the family will be on a cruise to the Bahamas over our American Thanksgiving day, we decided to combined the two together this year. We had all the great food we normally have on thanksgiving day but put a little Canadian french twist on things!! We deep fried the turkey for the first time this year. OMG!! all i can say is YUM!!! great food and spending time with the best family...who could ask for more!! love you all!!


 " YOU PUT A ...WHAT KINDA TWIST ON MY THANKSGIVING DINNER???
CANADIAN FRENCH?????"

I TOLD ANDY...
"IT'S NOT GRAVY, IT'S A FRENCH WINE SAUCE. JUST TRY IT" 


AS YOU CAN SEE...HE LOVED IT!!!!!!!! LOL

TREVOR DEEP FRIED THE TURKEY IN THE BACK YARD


TRUST ME....IT TASTED AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS!!!



 EVERYTHING WAS MADE FROM SCRATCH. I WAS SO PROUD OF HOW MY ROLLS TURNED OUT. THEY WERE DELICIOUS!!


SINCE WE COULDN'T STUFF THE TURKEY I MADE THIS FABULOUS
STUFFING IN THE CROCK POT

Zack did a great job helping Mommy make the sweet potato casserole

"SEE MOMMY...YOU HAVE TO STIR IT JUST LIKE THIS"

"AND NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW ITS REALLY BABY FOOD  HEHEHEHE!!!!"

WE WANTED TO EAT AROUND 2:00 BUT GOT OFF TRACK SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY SO BY THE TIME IT FINALLY GOT DONE WE WERE STARVING!

" IF WE DON'T EAT SOON MY ARMS ARE GONNA GROW
ANOTHER FOOT LONG!!!"


The babies really enjoyed their first thanksgiving dinner. We decided it was about time they discovered what real people food was all about!!!! OMG...all i can say is  FUNNNNNNY!!!


AS YOU CAN SEE....MATT HAD NO TROUBLE FIGURING OUT WHAT TO DO WITH A TURKEY LEG....LIKE FATHER LIKE SON!!!

"BACK AWAY PEOPLE!!!! THIS IS MY TURKEY LEG!!!!
 YOU TOUCH IT.....YOU DIE!!!!!!!!!!


Emma on the other hand...well, it took her a minute to figure out what it was we gave her.......


" OK....WHAT THE YECK IS THIS?? AND WHAT DO
THEY EXPECT ME TO DO WITH IT?"

"MAYBE JUST A LITTLE LICK...."


"HHHMMMMM...THAT'S A REALLY GOOD TURKEY LEG!!"


EMMA LOOKS TO THE HEAVENS AND SAYS....
"THANK YOU GOD FOR CREATING TURKEY LEGS!!!"


"I COULD LEARN TO LIKE THIS THANKSGIVING THING EVERY YEAR!"


AFTER THEIR TURKEY LEGS, AUNT BARB LET THE BABIES TRY ALL THAT
THANKSGIVING HAD TO OFFER!!!


THE BOYS WENT OUTSIDE TO PLAY AND BURN OFF SOME OF THAT TURKEY
IN ORDER TO MAKE ROOM FOR DESSERT


"WHAT?? ITS BIG ENOUGH FOR BIG KIDS TOO!!!!"


and then of coarse Andy had to try it too....


DON'T ASK!!!!!!!! LOL


say cheese Andy....." CHEESEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

Mom and Grandma

Kenny and Grandma

Trevor and Zackery

Andy and Saddie

and then of coarse....it wouldn't be thanksgiving dinner without dessert!!!
This was a pumpkin pie on the bottom and a pecan pie on the top!!
OH SO GOOOOOOOOOD!!!
And it wouldn't be Thanksgiving if Mom didn't pick the first pecan out of the
top of the pie before cutting into it!!!


AFTER EVERYONE LEFT AND ALL WAS SETTLING DOWN...DADDY SPENT SOME QUALITY TIME WITH EMMA.....HOW CUTE ARE THESE......



NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL....LOVE!!!!!!
