Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving and it had a lot to do with pie :)  My favorite pie is Banana Cream and every year my family has the same 3 pies: apple, cherry and pumpkin.  Truth is I'm not crazy about any of those.  So this year I made Banana Cream happen and everyone loved it.  I bought it, sorry I worked the day before, but I am so glad I did.  My mom cooked and I HAD to make Sweet Potato Souffle.  I made it for the first time in 2008 and every year it's what I am requested to bring.  My family LOVES the stuff!  This was our attempt at a nice family pic this year:  4 out of 5!
 

I have changed my focus from the kids to the Christmas List for other people: Brady's teacher, bus driver, family, friends, neighbors, etc.  I tend to stick with gift cards because frankly I love a good gift card!  And really who doesn't love some Five Guys? or going to see a movie? or Tim Horton's always comes in handy for the bus driver.

Oh and that big meatball in my life likes to wait and wait to decide on what he wants.  He mentioned a Little Joe's leather vest for riding on his motorcycle or a new pair of jeans. 

I made the mistake of turning him on to designer jeans.  You know what they say - once you go designer, you never go back. Haha.

And our Christmas photo shoot is coming up and I am stressing about clothes.  I think coordinating everyone's outfits is the hardest part.  When Kate and Jack Spade teamed up with Gap I knew my boys would need something!  I love Kate Spade and will admit if I had a little girl I would have gone nuts that day.  I ordered Brady's Jack Spade shirt right away.   

I found a 2T Polo Navy sweater in Pierce's closet that Brady never wore - Score!  So this was how the navy, white and gray theme started.  I had to order a shirt for Reid and dad and a dress for me but we are finally ready.  Now we just need to say a prayer everyone cooperates!
