oh I can't keep it open too long cuz gonna let all the goodness out since dinner is just finishing up or should I say lunch I have to watch I'm going stairs bog poop everywhere just kidding not really everywhere but we want to take a family picture because mom has a picture of us in a picture frame and I really don't like it was right after Jackson was born and it's kind of washed out so we're gonna try and get a updated picture with Jackson and we're going to go ahead and use their fence as a backdrop we are gonna stand here I'll beautifully like and take a picture and there's my crew we've been here how many days and I don't know why we haven't been outside yet Jackson's 11 grandma's swing I didn't even know you had a little kid one on there gotcha Jackson now you're smiling is it that how it goes they don't smile for pictures but they'll smile for everything else after how fun this is sofa I love Thanksgiving because we really just enjoy it feels like a Sunday to me like we just enjoy the family we sit around we talk and there's the yummy food cooking so this has already been a really fun day because it took three to four hours get your tail get her tail Oh too late mom used her nicest china and we set the table and I was in charge of the silverware how does that look this is the prettiest China I have ever seen the lighting isn't as good so it's not even pick him up but the silverware has this pretty gold outlining and this used to be grandma's growing up I guess mom you see on this but daddy removed the paper plates yes I'm really disappointed all week there has been paper plates up here because mom forgot her nice dishes I guess in Utah and so did something had to be there so dad put paper plates but they found good plate to put up there but kind of sad not to see those paper plates up there Jackson and wrinkles are going to be playing while we eat dinner just so y'all know for the wrinkles she thinks she can hide but then Jackson finds her everywhere and oh you get a hug your bum you two kids wrinkles is such a good dog this is the same kind of dog that I grew up with Jared grew up with yellow labs and I grew up with yellow labs so it's kind of fun to see Jackson around him because I think they are such good dogs like Jackson pull out her pull her little whiskers and she doesn't even get mad she's just been so good so we're gonna take the turkey out dad this is a very momentous occasion are you it is I don't know I don't I'm getting a little choked up it's turkey day let's do it let's do it so this is our first time cooking a turkey on the Traeger so I think if it tastes as good as it looks I think we're in for a real treat careful careful careful come in close the lid please careful careful careful made it oh my goodness so my little turkey is having his first turkey today can you smell that turkey that grandpa made it is so yummy it looks just like you you're about the same size as it yeah we could have just cooked Jackson so spicy I think they know that we don't drink I heard the knife yep pulled out you're sharpening it I see yes indeed that's a nice knife that's a nice turkey dad hahaha did you get a breath you might have a root ball kisses that he's getting on his face jungle taxi won't let me kiss anyone with make them on except for you haha another momentous occasion is about to occur dad is about to make the first slice into the turkey dad do you have any words before you slice this turkey I really stink at carving hahaha don't let him kid you he's been doing this for years and I still stink it oh my oh my cut it's so juicy can you name that TV show I think these kids found their new favorite play place just under the table here having a good time now we've got wrinkles in here too wrinkles Oh Jennifer had a picture that she took of wrinkles but I think is the perfect reason as why she is named wrinkles and I'm gonna put that picture in right now I would Jackson I thought you'd like under the chin are you stag now you make it you made it good job you one special tradition that we have in our family is we go around the table and say what we are thankful for on Thanksgiving and one thing we do is we also start at the youngest and we go all the way up to the oldest so Jackson what do you think before food food do you think over mommy I would car has locals your piece Jo you're the next young guess the two babies in the knee it's kind of crazy how everything changed from last year I think last year we had a whole ton of different emotions and we're in such a different place but I think the I really am grateful that we have the means to have a warm home-cooked meal I don't really you know I think my mind has been opened a little bit this year of other people's situations and I'm just really grateful that we have family together and we have a really yummy nutritious meal and I grateful for my babies of course would you have believed if last year someone said that you'd be
