Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving

Hi - I went to visit family for Thanksgiving. We left first thing last Tuesday & came back late Saturday.

Very long car ride (about 600 miles one way) - not fun.

I hadn't seen them (except one of my sister's who visited over the summer) in over a year.

Here's some pics I took last time I was visiting.

Happy Thanksgiving/Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Happy Thanksgiving - y'all. I just got finished making this pumpkin pie. We literally made this from scratch. Right after Halloween Walmart was getting rid of all the left over pumpkins. They had a bunch for free! So we grabbed some.

My husband said he always wanted to make pumpkin pie from scratch. So we used this recipe that I pinned to Pinterest (click link to go to recipe)

It's a bit of work, because you have to do a bunch of stuff to get the pumpkin puree part. My husband did all that over the weekend. Then my daughter and I made the actual pie this afternoon. This looks like it's going to be great. I can't wait to try this tomorrow!


Here's a picture of my pie, I just took out of the oven. We'll add some whip cream or vanilla ice cream to it tomorrow.

Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Weekend

Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving! This weekend my husband and I will have the whole thing to ourselves! That's because my kids are down their Grandmother's for the whole weekend. This is a tradition that has been going on for a few years. We go to my mom's for Thanksgiving and then we leave the kids there!

They have a good time because my sister lives their too. So they my sister and mother take them to the movies, out to eat, and whatever else they do. So the kids have a fun. And then me and my husband can relax at home and do whatever we want too! So it's one of our true times a year alone without the kids!

We really enjoy it, although by the end of the weekend I start missing the kids! Well hope everyone else has a great weekend!
