Thanksgiving

The Decker crew had a wonderful Thanksgiving week. I spent some much needed time at home with my parents and the DB. We had a blast playing with her and just having 'family time'. I'm not quite sure what we ever did before Katherine came into the world...I think we were probably pretty boring!

Thanksgiving Day, we went to Huntsville to spend the day with the Ferneaus and our cousin Christa and her family who were in town from San Diego. Having two little ones running around the house definitely was a change for our small 'quiet' family! haha Aunt Jenn put on a wonderful spread of food...even the Red Velvet "crepe" was delish!

This time of year is always a time to remember what's important in life and what all we have to be thankful for. This year, I am thankful for: my amazing family, my new job which I am still absolutely in love with, my wonderful friends, good health, my house, etc. Honestly, I could fill up a whole post on all the things I am thankful for.

This "Hetti the Hippo" tent brought DB lots of fun over the holiday.

Katherine is officially a Barney/Dora/Elmo fan...she and I spent lots of time curled up in GrandBobby's study watching videos.

One of the staples in our house at Thanksgiving time...my mom's AMAZING sweet potato pies....there are none better in the whole world!

Sister's "Southern Beer Punch" was a huge hit at Thanksgiving

Baby Andrew was so sweet!

DB's laugh is absolutely contagious!

We were so thankful to have our cousin Christa and her family celebrating Turkey Day with us! (The turkey hats were supposed to be for the kid-os...but I couldn't resist!)

In honor of the Iron Bowl, I had to wear my favorite button to Thanksgiving...it totally made my outfit! :)

This is our best attempt at a group shot in the kitchen

Andrew and Katherine in their hats...think they look way better on them than me!! haha

And of course, Thanksgiving week wouldn't be complete without some orange and blue in the Decker house. On Iron Bowl Friday, the Decker family started getting pumped at about 7:15 am. While cleaning up breakfast, I turned around and said, "I think we need to do a few cheers!". So I led the family in AU's best cheers....'Boddagedda' and 'Track 'Em Tigers'. Then Sister brought in her AU CD from the car and we marched/danced around the kitchen to the fight song. Katherine kept saying, "More Auburn song, please!". We were all fired up and ready to watch our Tigers!

Thank you Aunt TT for K's super-cute outfit for the Iron Bowl!

I came back to B'ham Friday morning so I could watch the game with friends. In the midst of all the excitement, I completely forgot to take any pictures. It was quite possibly the best Iron Bowl I've ever seen and I couldn't be more proud of my Tigers........WDE!!!! It wasn't a pretty win, but a win none the less. I am so proud to be an Auburn Tiger!!!!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving. Now that Turkey Day is over, the Christmas season is officially under way. My house is almost fully decorated....stay tuned for decor pics!
