Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We had a great Thanksgiving at my house this year. The only bad part was that we were not altogether. Maybe next year! Here are the highlights of the day!

And just a noteworthy side note:
After we got to talking, everything was made "fresh" and/or "from scratch". The stuffing, the sweet potatoes, the green beans, the cranberry sauce, the gravy, the mashed potatoes. Even the turkey was ordered fresh. YEA for us! That equates to about 8 sticks of butter used, and 0 calories taken in! (because everyone knows that calories don't count on holidays!!!) All in all, it was one of the best meals I have had!! Including the next-day-leftover-lunch-meal too! YUM-O!!!!

Mom making the sweet potatoes. She didn't quite follow Mark's recipe though. She omitted the step that calls for "cook until charred black" part!




Rich carving his very first turkey. (How DOES this thing work?!?-notice the scowl?)


Aww, real napkins even!



The boys playing legos. (by boys I mean grown men)



The fam.



Alora's first Thanksgiving!
The pies! Made fresh from Golden Corral that morning!

And don't forget the whipped cream!
