The holidays are in full swing

Well, now that Thanksgiving is over it's time to get ready for my FAVORITE holiday in the entire world. CHRISTMAS!!! But before I go into that it was a great Thanksgiving at the Hartup household. We had 19 people at our house..The usual people mom, dad, Jana & kids, myself, and Josh, the Vances and their 4 kids, & Lisa. But this year another couple from the ward Billy and Nita Tennell came and Lisa brought her mom. We had a total of 11 adults and 8 kids.

Everyone also brought their usual dishes.

Hartup's: The Bird, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and chocolate cream pie and Cherry Cheesecake
Vance's: The candied yams, Coconut cream pie.
Jana: Green Bean Casserole, and deviled eggs
Tennell's: Rolls, pecan, and pumpkin pie
Lisa: Mashed Potatoes
Me: Deviled eggs and helped with the pies

After we ate we put in a new movie that mom had bought for the kids (Santa Buddies), and the adults looked at the Black Friday ads. Ayla Vance as you can see in the pictures was super adorable. She loved carrying Josh's stuffed lion around (Rowland) and he was pretty much the same size as her. It was so cute. Evan had his annual pie contest with Alan Gibbons.
So it was a normal traditional Thanksgiving and I love having so many family and friends that came. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and has A LOT to be thankful for.
