Lets start with Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was low key this year. Kurt, Tyson and I stayed here in Nevada. Our families live far away and in places where it likes to snow a lot. So instead of spending the outrageous amounts of money that airlines like to charge over the holidays and instead of risking our lives through the ice and snow storms, we have decided to spend the winter holidays at home and travel to see family in the safer summer months. I must say it was hard to be pregnant over Thanksgiving! I wanted to eat everything before it was even made and when thinking about eating one thing it would trigger another craving. I tried to keep the "steph" foods to a minimum but I still made way too much and ended up not eating half of it! But I did attempt to make everything from scratch which I did except for the mashed potatoes!

 My mom makes awesome pies and knows how to fold the edges just right to make them look perfect. Mine however....did not look so great!

 I am not very good with baking things that require yeast and raising. But this year I made a recipe of my Mother in Laws which turned out great!

 Kurto even helped make the stuffing!! Such a good husband I have!

 We also continues my families tradition of playing cribage...which I won!

The day after Thanksgiving we put up Christmas Lights on the house for the first time!!

 And decorated the tree! Sometimes I wish we could travel and see the whole family over these Holidays but I really love making our own traditions and making memories in our home with our new family!
