Well Justin and I spent a great week in Moscow with his family and I got to learn all of the Skinner/Schwartz family traditions for thanksgiving. The festivities started on Wednesday when all of the boys went out to Garfield to get the family Christmas Trees.
The girls stay home and start the Thanksgiving day cooking:) I learned how to make the super special Skinner family stuffing..... it was incredibly delicious when it was done.... but it looked a little yucky when we were grinding up all of the veggies:D
Pies are also important to the Wednesday cooking day. We made two pumpkin and one apple. (that Apple pie crust looks pretty great huh?.... the newest member of the family made it;))
When the boys got back the started putting up the Christmas lights at Grandma and Grandpa Skinner's house. This is Grandpa and Mitch doing the lights on the bushes.
And this is my cutest husband putting them up on the tree.
This is the next day after dinner..... some very very stuffed Schwartzes:) It was incredilbly delicious! We had such a fun time! We got to see my family on saturday when they came back from Hawaii and then we headed back to Rexburg where we only have two more weeks before we get to go home again for Christmas!
