Food and Family.... what more could you want?!!

This year I was in charge of bringing the best mashed potatoes ever :) plus a pumpkin cheesecake.... but I gave into a regular pumpkin pie when we were at Costco. lol. $5.99 can't be beat and it was BIG. Not to mention it turned out rather delicious!! When I was nannying I learned how to make the Hart's favorite mashed potatoes. I LOVE cream cheese and they definitely loved cream cheese. I learned how to cook many things with cream cheese. :) And it was always so delicious! So for thanksgiving I had to bring some of the most delicious mashed potatoes ever. Mitch LOVES LOVES LOVES mashed potatoes. I swear he could eat a whole bowl if I allowed him to. lol. So not only was I bringing mashed potatoes for 17 people one of them being Mitch I needed to make sure I had enough. Savannah slept over wednesday night and in the morning she was a doll and helped me cube my potatoes. She kept saying she thought I had plenty.... I said just a few more.... a few more..... She headed home before they were finished cooking and Mitch helped me finish up. Oh they were yummy.... sour cream ..... cream cheese..... butter.... garlic salt..... oh the wonderful flavor!! Then I dished them into my serving bowl - 4 qt serving bowl.....

Needless to say I had plenty of mashed potatoes :) LOL. Everyone enjoyed them!! Dinner was absolutely delicious! Nothing is better during the holidays than family and food!

{ Our 2nd Thanksgiving together }

We had plenty of food and wonderful company! I really enjoyed having my aunt and cousins there this year. After dinner we spent some time browsing the black friday ads and then we played games! AH I LOVE games! We even included my grandma and grandpa. Ever play the game Oink Piggy Oink? Well we got grandma in the middle and this is how it went.
Grandma: "quack quack quack quack quack quack....."
everyone giggles under their breath
Susie: shrugging and looking at everyone didn't know what to do so she "quacked" back.
HA HA HA good times!!!
We had such a wonderful time hanging out with family! I'm truly blessed and grateful to have each and every family member in my life. The time sure passed quickly on Thursday!
Soon we were headed home to our cute little boys.

Hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving!!
