Thanksgiving at the Decker's

Thanksgiving was such a great time this year. Well, it is every year actually but, you know... This year we had Thanksgiving at Mom and Dad's (of course!) and Ronda and Gary's family was there along with Gary's brother Randy, his wife Marlo, and her kids Preston and Vivian. Rob, Melissa, and Cade joined us which made it even MORE fun! Dad smoked a turkey and Gary deep-fried a turkey. We also got a ham from the HoneyBaked store (Bless the Honeybaked store!!!) and had ALL the trimmings. Thanks to Rob and Melissa for the "to-die-for" gravy, stuffing, and cranberry chutney. I have to admit, I had to ask them what in the world chutney was. You all know just how classy a gal I am so I'm sure that doesn't surprise you much.

What I absolutely loved about our Thanksgiving is that it was so low-key and fun-filled. Who wants to waste time with fancy dinnerware when you can spend more time with family and friends because you can just throw the paper plates away?! HAHAHA!!! No, no.. it just happened to work out the best this time. I am all for the fancy shmancy stuff in certain occasions.. like when there's no more than 6 people at the dinner table. Any more than that equals too many freaking dishes to do if you ask me!!! After dinner we all attempted to watch a movie in Mom and Dad's theater. It lasted about 20 minutes but it still made for a great time!!! I absolutely love this time of year. No matter if it's fancy dishes or paper plates, this time of year means getting together with those most dearest to you. Of course, there are those that are far away that we miss so much. Maybe next year I'll throw a paper plate on the table for you guys and your family too (Kirsten and Susan :-). I sincerely hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!

After dinner... Reagan and Cade were POOPED!! Just to prove it.. Cade NEVER cuddles!! :-)

Two of my most favorite guys in the world. Only Hunter is missing.. Rob & Melissa. Why does Rob look so annoyed?? Reagan and "Auntie Ronna" (Ronda) Hunter. I think he's already wishing he had some chest hair. Yes.. he unzipped his zipper that low..
