Giving Thanks this Week

Thanksgiving 2008

I almost can't believe that I'm posting about Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving. So unlike me to be prompt like that! Thanksgiving to me is: celebrating our many blessings with family and food (and looking at ads for Black Friday. Are you getting up early?). And now after cooking for two days straight I can say that I can make an entire Thanksgiving dinner by myself. It's like giving birth naturally (!!!!), given a choice, I would probably choose a different route, but it was totally worth it!
Menu:

Brined turkey, roasted upside down

Mashed potatoes

Stuffing

Hot Gravy

Baked Ham

Aunt Joyce's sweet potatoes

Green Bean casserole

Rolls hot from the oven w/ homemade strawberry jam

Homemade cranberry sauce- almost didn't make it but good thing I did because Jane liked it alot

Pumpkin and Apple pie with vanilla ice cream

At the table, after the annual Turkey Bowl, before dinner.

Our guests were Elder Dixon and Elder Moore (we were the first of their 3!!! dinners), and Miss Jane Morse from our ward.

Cute picture of my little men looking at our little lady.

And my sweet love did the dishes afterward! The only thing that would have made this day better would have been to be with grandmas and grandpas and grumpies and grandies and aunties and uncles and cousins. Maybe next year!!
