Thanksgiving 2011

This year, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We went to my parents for dinner this year. My mom wanted everyone to make a side dish for the dinner, so I decided to make a Macaroni and Cheese bake. I know that it doesn't sound festive, but it tastes AMAZING! The only problem was... It didn't turn out right. The sauce was too thick when I baked it, so it was kind of dry. Then, I didn't have fresh parmesan, so I used the nasty dried stuff. The stuff that sits on tables at pizza restaurants. BAD IDEA! It was not so good.

Other than that, it was a great day. I made my Homemade Oreos, since I had a request from family to make them.


Alden REALLY enjoyed his first Thanksgiving. He sat at the table like a big boy with us and ate. It was so cute.



He had his own little plate, fork and spoon. He double-fisted the whole meal. He's doing amazing with his eating skills.

After dinner, everyone sat around, talked and watched football. Alden sat with my dad, Papa, and played with the kitty, but they both eventually gave up and fell asleep. :)



It was a wonderful Thanksgiving. :) I hope everyone had a great one too!
