Happy (early) Thanksgiving

Instead of being like everyone else this year, my family decided to celebrate Thanksgiving just a couple days early. We have our reasons for choosing to do so, my little sis Maddie is having her gallbladder taken out on Wed, and my bro and his fam might be a little busy this weekend going to Southern Utah. So we thought it would be nice if all the family could get together and enjoy eachothers company. It was actually very nice doing it earlier, we got all our shopping done on Sat, and it wasn't as busy as it will be on Wed.

So I guess we are going to start a new tradition every year with the rolls, it's actually a pretty funny story. Last year while the rolls were in the oven, the pan was a little too close to the glass and when the oven warmed up the pan cracked/shattered the glass. We were all together in the front room when we heard a loud noise, sounded like a big boom, so we all run into the kitchen to see what happened and notice the glass on the oven, good thing it was still under warranty! Anyway this year we made quite a few rolls, so this one's ok. When getting the rolls ready, my dad sprays pam on selafane wrap and covers the rolls. Maddie put a pan in the oven upstairs and the other 2 went downstairs, all cooking at once. The ones upstairs (maddie put in) were done and my bro and Shawn were testing them, they noticed plastic all over the top of the rolls... Something always happens on the big holidays, and it's so much fun to have the family around to experience it! We also played scattegories, it's a family thing, and we don't always play for serious just for fun. So here are some pics of that too.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!



Shawn made the turkey and even did dishes afterward,
