Thanksgiving Weekend

I know Thanksgiving was last weekend, but I haven't had time to do a post yet. We stayed home and Bryce's mom and dad and brother Matt came from Boise. Jennette and I fixed dinner and it turned out pretty well. I was glad to have her there to help because I don't think I could fix Thanksgiving dinner by myself. I did however, for the first time, make homemade pies. I did an apple, pumpkin, and banana cream. They turned out really well. But we just didn't have enough people to eat them so the majority went to waste. Oh well!!

Thanksgiving night, Bryce's other two brothers and their families came to do gingerbread houses. Jennette and I had made the gingerbread the night before. That is a lot of work! We made enough for each family; Jim's, Tom's, and ours to make one. Jennette made the royal frosting and had bought a ton of candy for the kids to use. Well, some of the gingerbread had not set up enough or hardened enough and so ours and Jim's families fell apart. You will notice in the pictures we had the hair dryer out trying to get it to work. Jennette felt bad and on Saturday before she left to go back to Boise she made 2 more batches of gingerbread. So we were able to complete our gingerbread as a family last Sunday. The kids enjoyed doing it, but I'm not sure I will make it from scratch again. I will probably buy the $10 kit next year. Sorry Jennette!!

YEA!! It worked

Ellie enjoyed eating the candy
