Thanksgiving... and yes we still had plenty to eat!!

Happy (late) Thanksgiving to everyone and hope you had a great time with family and/or friends! We often get asked, especially on Thanksgiving, what do you eat. Well let's just say we still had plenty to eat, and it's great because the meat isn't the center of the dinner So we get to experiment more and have more of those yummy sides! Oh and I made the most yummy pumpkin pie!! I will put up the recipe later in another blog!



We had a super long weekend, everyone was off of work and school for 4 days so we not only had a nice Thanksgiving. But we had a great weekend and a lot of time to get a lot of stuff done around the house.
We raked leaves two of the days. I don't think anyone who has lived here before really raked the leaves. We have 5 bags and about 7-10 more to fill!! And we have about a truck load of branches/trimmings to load up:D




Nathaniel also had time to work on the desk for Anika's room and on the table for Syd and Neela's room. I don't have pics of the finished items but let me tell you they turned out exactly like we wanted and we got away with making them super cheap! I will put of pics of them done later with the list of items and how we made them! But I do have a picture of Nathaniel being a super manly man working hard in the garage.... :D




Oh and one last thing.... we got a chance to walk around the UNC campus. It is beautiful in the fall, especially with our girls walking around it:D
