What a weekend! We were lucky enough to get all the Bennett clan to come down to our house for Thanksgiving! Thats right 10 of us in our charming little house...it was actually the funnest part! It was like a giant slumber party..the girls loved having their whole family right there! We ate, talked and shopped all weekend long! The girls had a blast with eachother. They would sit by eachother and watch Toy Story 3 before bed time! We love Rylee Grace so much around here...we talk about her everyday so having her here was a dream come true!
Grandpa is always a favorite to snuggle with...and if one gets to snuggle grandpa the other is not far behind to get in on the action!On Saturday we took the whole group to the orange county swapmeet...but the best day of the week was Thusday of course! The feast...
My mother in law makes the most coveted sweet potatoe casserole in the world!..seriously all my Aunts call for the recipe to try and duplicate this amazing side dish that tastes more like a dessert!
My sis in law and her hubs made the veggies...they are big fans of the food network so they are always coming up with these amazing ways to make something new and delicious! For example mushrooms stuffed with stuffind and sprinked with cheese...ahh they were so stinking good! And her husband Chris made the best bacon and cheese brussle sprouts!
I stuck with making the basic stuffing and mashed potatoes! My biggest contribution was decorating the table. It turned out cuter than I thought it would...PS the candles spell out thankful...stole the idea from Martha Stewart!
I wanted little pumpkins to use as place settings but instead we swiped persimons (i think that is how you spell it?) from my neighbors tree! Perfect color and they were so tiny and adorable! I used my stamp set I got from an antique store to put the first letter of each of our names on it!
It was the perfect day for an outdoor dinner! And our green backyard made the perfect backdrop for our table.
Thanks to my amazing in laws for the yummiest funnest Thanksgiving weekend! And a little love for my family who we missed so much..!
