An Awkward Family Thanksgiving, 2015 Edition.

Awkward? Us? Usually we are alright, but the family photo we tried to attempt with the newly found self-timer on the cell phone turned out quite hilarious, if I do say so myself. Complete with the dog: 



Pre-awkward family photo, we had a great meal. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope it was filled with warmth, laughter, and many many things to be thankful for. This year has been the busiest yet-new families added and changes galore-and I am so grateful for everything that has happened! Thanksgiving Day brought upon a wave of non-stop rain post meal, which perfectly set the mood for our afternoon napping during the Cowboy's game. But since the rain did.not.stop. until the wee hours of the morning, I was woken up by a lovely "flood warning" courtesy of my iPhone, kindly reminding me to watch out for flooding at 3am, which also did me a favor and made me EXTRA thankful that I was all warm and snuggly in my bed and not out galavanting around fighting crowds for the "black" Friday deals. 


Happy Turkey Day from The Rivera's!


A well deserved nap.


A perfectly timed photo to solidify my spot on the couch for the next 4+ hours.

So, the turkey was gobbled, the dressing stuffed down, and the brownie cream cake pie thing  enjoyed for dessert. Sister was in town, the Christmas decorations were taken down, and it stopped raining (for now)! As following Herron family tradition, turkey tetrazzini was created from the leftovers, and what normally takes several days to go through, barely any leftovers survived 24 hours. Can't wait to see what next year's meal brings! We are already talking about doubling up on some, and adding in a bomb.com green bean casserole, but dang can't get too ahead of my taste buds watering because 364 days takes a long time!


Another perfectly timed photo. The most unphotogenic dog in the world posed on his OWN for this.

Kiefer is always grateful for turkey tetrazzini.


'Tis the season to be Thankful!
