Happy Thanksgiving!!

This year we were not able to spend Thanksgiving with our families but we enjoyed a quiet morning together with our little family. I wanted to make a special and fun breakfast for us, so I whipped up a batch of pumpkin cream cheese streusel muffins and homemade hot cocoa with marshmallows. Abigail and Kyle were quite the fans of both!!




Kyle loves homemade cocoa and for the last few years I've always had to make a dairy free option for me. However, this year I enjoyed a cup right along with them! (Notice Abigail even got a real mug to drink hers out of!)




The pumpkin muffins I made were a recipe from a cookbook by the ladies at my old church in Texas. The recipe is by a fabulous cook (who made our wedding cakes), Diann Dunn.







Abigail loved the muffins, minus the cream cheese. Haha



Kaitlin got to try some apple/blueberry sauce for breakfast but wasn't a huge fan of the taste. Haha...




I just love her nose!!




At lunch time she got to try a tiny bit of ham and mashed potatoes and she LOVED THEM!! Especially the ham! As soon as she tasted it her eyes lit up and she gobbled it up! She has since continued her love for ham. She definitely WAY prefers table food to baby food! Haha...




Abigail finding a marshmallow!




Hmm... Mmmmmm...




She became a quick fan! :-)
For lunch we enjoyed the afternoon at some dear friends' home where they welcomed us in like family! I meant to take pictures but didn't. Their kids and our kids enjoyed playing together though!
For dinner, Southern Seminary hosted a big meal for any students who didn't have family in town, so we enjoyed participating in that!
What a blessed day we had! So thankful for where the Lord has us and the wonderful family and friends He has given us!
We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
