Since he was born on September 11 of this year he has kept me running around, here he is expressing his opinion on bath time:
And all snuggled up happily sleeping:
This year also was our first year hosting Thanksgiving in our house. So I spent the day baking and cooking with a lot of success. The day started with some amazing Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls with Caramel icing that I found on pinterest, sadly I don't have a very good picture of those since they disappeared really fast. So fast I decided I just had to make them the next day too. I think they are going to be our traditional holiday breakfast.
After breakfast I started the turkey. It was definitely the biggest turkey I have ever cooked at 23 pounds. Even after sending leftovers home with people we are just going to use up the last of the leftover turkey in Turkey Noodle Soup tonight.
We also had stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy and a mashed sweet potato dish. When Alex finished up the leftovers of that dish he let me know he would definitely wants more. For that I used fresh sweet potatoes that I then mashed with butter and brown sugar, then it was topped with alternating stripes of candied pecans and mini marshmallows.
Finally we had Pumpkin Cheesecake that my mom made (this is my favorite fall dessert) and then to make my husband happy I made a pecan pie with a cinnamon roll crust:
I have been busy with some craftiness but sadly that will have to wait until after Christmas is over and presents have been opened before I post anything about it. I will say I have fully completed one person's present and that is for my brother Wil. Hopefully I will have plenty of time to get the rest done. (which shouldn't be difficult if I could get my butt off pinterest and working on presents)
Well I am off to work on presents (I am home from work today with a migraine and a simple crochet project may be distracting enough to help me relax).
