Giving Thanks...

We had a great Thanksgiving this year!  The Esslinger's were great hosts with lots of fun for the kids and LOTS of delicious food for everyone.  
While the grown ups finished up all the cooking the kids got to decorate snowflake decorations that we sent to Grandma and Grandpa in Florida. 

Nick started going gluten free a couple months ago so we had the extra challenge to make a great meal that he could eat too.  I made gluten free stuffing, rolls, gravy and even a pie from scratch!  I was really proud and Nick was very appreciative that he was able to have a "normal" Thanksgiving.  Brian deep fried the turkey and Andi and Mama Alice out did themselves with all of the sides and desserts.  It was delicious.

 After dinner we skyped family and made a gingerbread village!

It was such a fun day and we were so happy that we were able to spend time with our family and see the ones we are far away from.
