I think I gained 50 pounds...

We Had Two Thanksgivings!

I know this is kind of late, but I only just got my pictures to upload onto my computer. I've been trying for a while. But my camera and my computer were conspiring against me.

At any rate, here is a post about mine and Michaels first Thanksgiving! Beware: there are lots of pictures.


We went to Michaels parents house first, they were eating in the early afternoon, and everyone on my side was eating around 5

This is Marisa, Mia, Mendy and our niece Maria hanging out as we wait. They didn't need help in the kitchen. I asked a few times :)

Kai started playing some music, and assigned each of us an instrument to pretend we were playing, and he conducted us. It was cute.

This is my Mother and Father-in-law working hard in the kitchen

The food is ready and waiting

I wasn't able to get a long shot of everyone at the table, so I did shots of each side of the table. Here we have Mia, Elisa, Marisa, Maria, my mother in law and my father in law

This is the other side, we have Kai, Edisa, Matt, Edina and Mendy

The food was delicious. Charlie was begging a lot during that meal.

Then we headed over to our other Thanksgiving. We got to Dad and JoAnn's place and this is what we saw, Amber and Dave putting up Christmas lights.

They worked very hard, and did a great job! Michael and I helped after dinner. I hope they get to decorate their new house too!

Dad, enlisting the help of Michael in the kitchen. Everyone was helping with different dishes.

Well, almost everyone :-P This is my little brother David, playing with Tally

The table is all set!

This is everyone sitting down to enjoy. I was able to get a shot with everyone. Michael took another one after this, so I could be in one too. He's so sweet. We have Annie, Jimmy, Brett, Michael, Uncle Ron, David, Amber, Dave, JoAnn, and Dad. This meal, too, was delicious!

Annie, helping to clear the table. She is so cute!

We had two thanksgivings! I felt like I had gained about 50 pounds. I don't look like it here though!

Michael on the other hand... LoL. He was sticking out his tummy.

Our trick was to eat small portions at the Magistro Thanksgiving and at the Kaiser Thanksgiving, that way we could taste everything at both, and be able to fit it in.

I forgot to take pictures of the pies. Annie made some very yummy pies! Pumpkin, and I think Pumpkin banana, and cupcakes. Michaels mom also made yummy pies, she made 4 kinds. We were nervous about having room to eat at the Kaiser Thanksgiving, so we didn't have her pies until the next day.

We had a lot of fun, but next year we may have to only eat at one families Thanksgiving. It is hard to eat so much!

Hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving, and is having fun getting ready for Christmas!
