Happy Thanksgiving! This year we offered to host Jonathan's family for Thanksgiving. We were so excited to host a big dinner party again!! Johnna, Aaron, Catherine, and Claire came early to help out with some of the details. Catherine, Johnna, and I worked hard on the apple pie crust. Catherine even made her own mini pie!
We only had to have enough seating this year for eleven (as opposed to 21 last year!), and because we got a new table with two big extensions, we all could sit at one table!
We continued our tradition of having two turkeys--one smoked and one roasted. Andrew did a great job again this year with the smoked turkey! It smelled incredible!
The rosemary-garlic turkey was as moist as ever! Too bad Thanksgiving is the only time you can find turkeys for 35 cents a pound!
A big spread complete with the turkeys, mashed potatoes, dressing, sweet potatoes, sweet corn, cranberry sauce, and homemade rolls. Mmmmmm! I'm always so amazed at how LONG it takes to make all the food, and how little time it takes to eat it all!
But there is always room for dessert...even if it is a few hours later!!
We are so blessed with a sweet, sweet family!!
Daniel, Christy, Hannah, and Benjamin!
Poppy with Baby Jack! What a happy Thanksgiving this has been!! LOTS to be thankful for!
Sisters, sisters....never were there such devoted sisters......(of course we also count Joann and Jennifer too!!).
Aaron, Johnna, Catherine, and Claire!
Grammy and Baby Claire!
Thank you, God for such sweet, sweet days!
