So something like 5-6 years ago one of my friends started a Friendsgiving at her apartment in Houston, and we have continued having it each year since then. These are a few pictures from the first few we had! I wish I had more, might have to hit up Lacey for them for next year’s post!
|
This was our first year! Such fun memories! |
|
Lacey was a big fan of hats as you can see haha… |
It started out small but it has definitely grown! This year and last year we had it at our house and it is so much fun to host! We always do a potluck because that is just plain easy when you have a ton of people to feed! So here’s the events of the day getting ready and enjoying the party! 🙂
|
Little man helping me out the day before getting ready! Love carrying this little guy around when he’s a fuss fuss! |
|
Because Saturday mornings are for snuggling in Mommy and Daddy’s bed with a little Paw Patrol on the side. (Yes, my 6, now 7, month old watches cartoons… #secondchildprobs) |
|
Annnnd no one signed up to bring the turkey this year! (Insert crying emoji!) so I put on my big girl panties and bought one at HEB. Eight bucks for this 18 lb. sucker. Can’t beat that. |
|
These easy oven bags made cooking the turkey a no brainer. Just pop it in with seasonings and oil and seal it up. |
|
Umm my face about sticking my hand INSIDE the turkey to get the ack neck out and the ack giblet package… why in the world does anyone need a GIBLET PACKAGE?!?!?! Cooked that bad boy for fourish hours and it was done and ready to eat. Thankfully no one got food poisoning. Thanksgiving Turkey success! |
|
Helping Momma get that turkey ready! |
|
This good looking man turned 6 months the week before, so of course pictures were in order! |
|
“Hey, gimme that sticker!” |
|
And some silly pics with big brother, who is ALWAYS silly silly! |
|
These boys have stolen my heart. |
We had SUCH a good turnout this year! I think about 40ish people came! Of course I made everyone take a picture, because anyone who knows me know that everything in life must be documented.
|
Yay for self timers! It works! |
|
Look at this group! SUCH sweet friends! And there were even more after this was taken! |
|
Because of course baby friends must wear hats and take a picture together! Jude was SO excited hah! Cannon is like, “Dude what’s your problem! Get it together!” |
|
This was only one side of the kitchen! TONS of food! |
|
My bestie getting a snuggle from the Jude man. |
|
My other bestie getting snuggles with the Jude man! He’s such a ladies’ man! |
|
Sooo this happened… hahaha… no not planned, yes sisters, same parents, same brain so same old navy shirt paired with dark skinny jeans. Too bad I cut 8 inches off of my hair a few months ago because then it would have been super cray! |
|
Lacey, the brains behind this operation is on the right here! |
Hope you enjoyed seeing some of the highlights of the evening! It went over so well! We can’t wait until next year to do it again!
