Thanksgiving was a very busy day this year! We had two dinner invitations and a play date all in one day so I made sure to make lots of Pie. I started the day before and finished up Thanksgiving morning. Here you see two apple crumble, two lemon chiffon and two pumpkin chiffon. The pumpkin is served with homemade whipped cream and toffee brittle on top. Oh and did I mention in is made with eggnog too? It was a new recipe I tried this year and it was very delicious! Yum!
Warren our native Thanksgiving indian.
Earlier in the day we stopped by Uncle Steve & Aunt Julie's house to say hello and prime our feast appetite on. Cousins Robert & Kristen had their first baby, McKenna, just a few weeks before. We got to hold & snuggle her which is always a bonus!
After we visited Payette's we joined some good friends the Boss' for Thanksgiving Diner. Lara is known for her cooking and she did not let us down! The food was yummy and we all ate way too much. I couldn't even eat my pie! Can you believe I didn't take any pictures? I know. I forgot my camera and my phone so I have no record of the fancy table or the amazing food but it was impressive! ;D We hung out for a while, played games and watched football.
Later, the missionaries came over for pie and our friends the Keifer's also came over for pie and to make gingerbread houses! We made a huge mess but had lots of fun! They are too fun!
Warren & Mom's creation. When I see this picture I just laugh because I was completely exhausted. LOL It's amazing what you can do when you have fun people around to keep you going! :D
Amy & Wyatt's and as you can see Wyatt ate more than he built! lol
It was a fun day for us. Even though we don't get to be with all our loved ones every holiday, you were all in our thoughts and know that we are very grateful to have you in our lives!

HAHAHA! Right before I got to the picture where you say you were exhausted, that exact thought came to my mind "Whoa, gingerbread houses with MORE people after Thanksgiving dinner? I would be exhausted!"
And then I scroll down and read your comment and started laughing. Looks like a really fun day! And I would love some of that lemon chiffon pie!
You are the ONLY person outside my family that I know who eats pumpkin chiffon pie!
