Happy Thanksgiving from The Kinard Family!

We hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving. We are so thankful for many things this year with Marissa being at the top of the list!! We are so thankful that God blessed us with such a beautiful, sweet, and loving baby girl. She is the light of our lives and we are so happy to have her celebrate this Thanksgiving with us. Last Thanksgiving is when we started this blog and announced that we were having a baby! God is so good!

Eric and I hosted Thanksgiving here at our house this year with about 14 people total!! That was my first time cooking for so many people. Much to my surprise everything turned out very yummy! Eric fried two turkeys (DELICIOUS) and I cooked all the appetizers, sides and desserts (stuffing, gravy, macaroni and cheese, vegetable casserole, sweet potatoe casserole, rolls, deviled eggs, and pumpkin cheescake !!!). Two of the other wives brought some side dishes and pies as well. We had PLENTY of food! Marissa was such a good girl all day. She had a wonderful time socializing with all of our friends. Here are a few pictures from today. Some turned out blurry...asking Santa for a new camera...hint, hint Eric!
