The Carnahan Family: Thankful

Andrew, Isabelle & I are so blessed to have such an amazing life, family and home. We enjoyed a full house of 10 on our Thanksgiving this year and it could not have been more wonderful (unless we had more people join us, of course). Nana Jane, Uncle Nick, GG Patty & GG Charlie all made the trip from Kansas City to enjoy the lovely Thanksgiving weather we have here in Arizona as well as a lovely Thanksgiving meal. My Grandparents old friends Deanie & Gordon joined us as well as Nick's old friend Joe Mulac and his girlfriend Christina. It was so fun having a full house and no empty seats (good thing we made the dining room table purchase).
I played Chief in the kitchen (yes, I mean Chief...I normally play Indian), but I had plenty of helpers (Indians). Mama Jane was in charge of salad, sweet potatoes & progressive clean up, Nick was in charge of the potatoes & helped with the stuffing and Andrew was in charge of the Turkey. Everything was awesome! We had Turkey, Ham, 2 kinds of stuffing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, roles, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cake, apple crisp, salad and real whipped cream! Fun Fun Fun! I had a ton of a helpers, but I really have to say...it wasn't all that difficult. Lots of fun and fun to eat! My favorite ended up being the ham and dessert (but whose really surprised?).
Anyways, fun day, fun times and fun memories! WE are so thankful to have such amazing family & friends! We love you all!
Thank you everyone for joining us! It was a very special day to have you all here for our very first Thanksgiving Feast! Love you all and missed everyone else! Come next year!!!
Love, Kat, Andrew & Isabelle
