Last Thursday was Thanksgiving. I brined and injected the turkey, then threw it on the smoker. It took about 3 hours.
I made two batches of green beans. Then we went to Honey's house for dinner.
Amy's mom and my mom also made a lot of food. Amy's mom makes a regular turkey because Amy won't eat the smoked turkey.
There was so much food!
It was all yummy.
Especially the smoked turkey.
The kids had fun playing.
We had a birthday cake for Ariel.
Dessert time!
What a great dinner!
Last Friday was Ariel's 13th birthday! We now have 2 teens in the house! Even though it was Black Friday, all she wanted to do was go shopping. We were totally crazy and went to the King of Prussia Mall. That was probably a bit of mistake. First, it took forever to park. Then we had to make a run for it. It was freezing!
The mall was crazy crowded.
There were lines to get in the stores.
The twins were not overwhelmed. They didn't seem to mind the crowds.
They checked out some computer game systems.
Broccoli!
Eli had to get a stuffy boat. Noah a slice of pizza!
Now that's a big jacket.
We ran into Mrs. Debbie the tutor.
Ariel had Lilly with her. It was an exhausting day.
That night, we took Ariel, with Lilly and Tessa to hibachi dinner.
Catch that in your mouth!
I took the girls out for ice cream after.
Have a great weekend!
