Thanksgiving

We had a great, filling, exhausting, fun Thanksgiving here in Texas! We had our two favorite new friends, Elder Lemon & Elder Rogers, over to feast. (they wrote our names down on their dinner list & then told us)

We made dinner for 2 days! We made turkey, ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet potatoes, rolls, broccoli, pumpkin pie, sweet potato dessert. In fact we were cooking so much that we forgot to take any pictures! So here's a picture of
Jessie's placemats & Tyler making rolls.

Jessie made one for everyone with each name written on them. Even the missionaries got their own personal Jessie work of art with "missionary" written in her special spelling style. They took them home so I don't have a photo. Ty helped make everything he could! What a helper! Matthew & Annie did dishes & then more dishes & yet we still have more to do! Ahhh! Cameron & Jack played football & more football.

Now we are all too stuffed to move! Ash's turkey was amazing again. He's an amazing cook & he wonders why I don't want to cook. I did make pies & stuffing. Our favorite new dish is a recipe my visiting teaching companion gave me. Sweet potato casserole! YUMMMMM!!! It is more of a dessert to me with a praline type crust on top & filled with a sweet vanilla sweet potato filling. It's our new Texas Thanksgiving tradition. I'll try to remember to post the recipe because it's worth a try & easy to make.
Happy Thanksgiving from the Oviatts in Texas!!!!

P.S. I just took this picture of what Tyler is doing now. :)
