Happy (1st) Thanksgiving

Today was Garrett's first Thanksgiving and the first time that we have had Thanksgiving dinner at our house! Jared and I have been so excited to host our feast this year that we made sure to plan out every detail.  Jared and Dillon were able to join in our Ward's annual Turkey bowl this morning.  They had a great time playing football, and I was glad that no one got hurt!!! The rest of us stayed home to get the feast ready and to watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade - Alec was especially excited about the parade!  I think he enjoyed introducing the parade to Tori and Garrett!!!
We had so much help with preparing our meal.  It was so fun that Tori wanted to help as well!!!
Alec did an awesome job making our table look festive!
Everything was so yummy- I was especially proud of how well the turkey turned out - brining is the only way to go!
This is how Garrett spent his first Thanksgiving dinner!
Garrett's super cute Thanksgiving outfit! (Technically it was Prince's and Scrappy's first Thanksgiving too- they loved getting in on all the action!)
And Garrett even gave a narration of his take on the day!!!
Check out Tori's awesome Thanksgiving picture from nursery!
Looking back over the past year, it is amazing how blessed we have been!  Right now I feel the most thankful for our family.  It has been such a joy welcoming Garrett into our family and watching Tori with her little brother!  And I can't even express how much love and support we feel from both of our families all the time!  We have been blessed so very much!!!
