Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love the crazy family togetherness and all of the delicious food. It was Thanksgiving weekend last year that Ben proposed to me. So that makes it extra special. This year, we stayed in Colorado instead of traveling out to Oklahoma. Thankfully, my sister stayed in town as well, so we spent the entire weekend with them. Our weekend was jammed pack of activities. Everything from hockey games to ping pong tournaments to shopping to go-karting to tree decorating. It was a blast!

Wednesday night we headed up to their house and went to an Eagles hockey game.

Thanksgiving morning, Casey, Melissa, and Ben ran in the turkey trot that my sister's work put on. It was about 12 degrees and way too cold for me to run! I enjoy it, but not that much!!

This year I made 2 desserts to take over to my sister's in-law's house. One is the traditional banana cake. My aunt Julie has made this cake for as long as I can remember. It's so delicious! A few years ago I was blessed to have her pass her super top secret recipe on to me. So of course I had to make it so me and Melissa could get our yearly fill.

My other dessert was a new one, which was a big hit! Pumpkin spice cake balls. Pumpkin spice cake mixed with cream cheese frosting all dipped in white chocolate. Delicious and a new fall favorite!

My sister's mother-in-law is a very crafty lady. She had a crafty afternoon planned for us and we made these cute little snowmen.

Later that weekend I helped my sister sit up her Christmas tree. Growing up putting up the tree was always a family affair. So it was fun to get to do it together again.
