Happy Thanksgiving!

The Halls have a lot to be thankful for, we know we're truly blessed. We spent the holiday with friends and yummy food. We decided one great thing about getting together as friends is the collaboration of the best of several family recipes.

This week marked the beginning of the last trimester-yea! Unfortunately, I know the last one will feel longer than the other six months. But no complaints :) I have had a really easy pregnancy.

Alice was up late playing with friends the night before (we had a sleepover at the Preston's) and she slept all the way through the meal. So no pics of her. Also, I thought I had pictures of our friends, but I guess not. So yes, I'm fired. Sorry guys.

I did get a picture of the table. My family will recognize the candy-filled-turkey cups. My grandma used to make these every year and I couldn't resist making them. Alice really liked them, a little too much. She needed to eat more real food and less candy.

One night while I was studying (more on that later) Alice asked Dustin to do her make-up. Well he did, all with brown eyeliner. The result? I call it 'Gothic Cinderella'. She was ecstatic. "Thank you so much daddy! You did my makeups!" I love the whole ensemble'. Eat your heart out Suri.

I meant to also say that I totally agree about the recipe thing and the table looks fun. You are looking great too:P

Turkey cups! I'm so jealous! Did you have Boston Baked Beans in them? I really wanted to make Turkey cups this year too, but didn't have time. We did make Dustin's Grandma's sweet potato casserole, though, and it was the first thing to disappear off the table... and my new favorite Thanksgiving food. Alice is a total Diva! Love you guys!
