Thanksgiving

Hello! Jack's First Thanksgiving was low key - we just had a family day which was really nice.  All 3 of us were recovering from being sick, so we just rested, and watched the Lions game and movies.
I bought a cute hat at Babies R Us that I thought would be cute for baby picture based off of an idea I saw on Pinterest, so we did a baby photo shoot - Jack liked playing with the wooden spoons and also enjoyed taking OFF the hat. Of course!
For dinner we had turkey - so I found a recipe for a Maple Cider Bourbon Brined Turkey . Colin then cooked it on the grill.  It turned out very moist and tasty! I would recommend.  I also made my Mom/Grandma Hartzheim's scalloped potatoes recipe for the 1st time.  They turned out good, too - a little taste of home.  I also tried my hand at a lattice cherry pie, it turned out okay - I'm excited to try it again soon to become better at it.  I've included some videos of Jack within the pictures (even if they are kind of silly, I think it's nice for family from far away to see Jack's mannerisms and personality.)
Enjoy!

After a big meal and a day of playing, Jack was ready for bed. I'm so thankful for my little family.
