The Sullivans...Ben, Kate, Dwight, and Jan
Dwight (with his daughter in law and grandson in the pic) carving the turkey!
Yummy turkey! There was hardly any left!
The holiday season is officially upon us!!! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I hope you all had a great time celebrating.
I have to admit I was a bit nervous about cooking an entire Thanksgiving meal for the Sullivan family at 9 months preggers, but everything went off without a hitch!
Wednesday night, before Ben's parents and sister arrived, Ben and I made the dressing, broccoli casserole and gooey butter cake and put them in the fridge to bake on Thursday! Smart move by us (took some of the pressure off for Thursday) and Ben was a huge help!
The Sullivan family got to our house around 10:30pm on Wednesday and we all caught up briefly over snacks and drinks.
Thanksgiving day we served lunch/early dinner around 2pm with Turkey, dressing, broccoli casserole, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, corn, bread, and gooey butter cake with ice cream for dessert! It was all delicious (I have to toot my own horn here)!
Thursday night we stayed in and played board games and recovered from our food coma.
Friday morning we went to brunch at J. Christopher's in downtown Roswell. Afterwards the ladies had a spa day followed by some antique shopping, while Ben watched football and his dad took a trip to the art museum.
Friday night we headed down to the Fernbank Natural History Museum for Martinis and IMAX. We watched the Van Gogh IMAX which none of us were really impressed with. However, the dancing and drinks in the lobby of the museum was a lot of fun.
Saturday, we said goodbye to Ben's family and pretty much were couch potatoes for the rest of the day!
Sunday, we got Ben his early Christmas present of an Iphone and decorated the house for Christmas!
Now, we're just counting the days until Tyler's arrival...16 days and counting!
Hope everyone else had a safe and happy holiday break!
Kristen, you look so cute!! Love the bump and can't wait to hear the good news!!
