I’ve notice my last few posts have been woefully lacking in snaps of cute little girls. I also seem to have missed sharing Thanksgiving with you. So let me remedy both of those now with a (rather late) Thanksgiving post.
It was the smallest Thanksgiving I have been to in many years. Doug, the girls and I went over to Doug’s mothers. It was us, Doug’s mother, stepfather, grandmother, uncle Tom, older brother David and younger brother Tim. His sister Alyson was not there, but she lives a few states away and had just been up the week before and is coming up again for Christmas.
Once we got there, the girls felt right at home. Vada ran in circles around the house, Christmas toys popped around her wrist for a ride.
Kyla was up to her latest game, pretending to be a cat. Isn’t she a cute little kitty? She even meows and likes to have her head scratched. It’s very amusing. The best is when she crawls up to her sister and meows, and then Vada pets her head. So cute!
I did bring a few things alone for the feast. The first was some apple cider and spices which I tossed in the crock pot to make yummy warm spiced cider.
And what would Thanksgiving be without a decadent pecan pie? I can only make this if I bring it somewhere. I would eat the whole thing if it was at home, and it is so full of sugar. I have a reprint of the Betty Crocker cookbook from the 50s, and it has a perfect pecan pie recipe that everyone loves.
I also brought some pumpkin spice bars – you can see them here at the top right corner of the picture. The girls somehow convince us to let them sit at the dessert table with some pumpkin pie and some pecan pie and big girl forks. Kyla just loved the pies!
Vada was very determined to figure out that big girl fork!
Both girls had a wonderful time hanging out with their family. Kyla swiped her Uncle David’s seat after dinner and started telling her great grandmother stories.
Vada tried to read her Uncle Tim a story, but he kept tickling her.
So she tickled him right back. Her aim could use some work.
It was a very nice day. A good time was had by all.
