We had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving. There was a lot of food...we had: Turkey, Ham, Dressing, Stuffing, Sweet Potatoes, Sweet Potato Souffle, Green Beans, Green Bean Casserole, Mashed Potatoes, Corn Casserole, Cranberry Sauce, Gravy, Orange Fluff, Cranberry Salad, Broccoli & Rice Casserole (Uncle JR's Favorite), Apple Salad, Breads, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Pie, Mincemeat Pie, Blackberry Pie, Turkey Cookies, Heath Bar Cake, & Bon Bons. It was a feast. Uncle JR came up with the idea to have an "Honoree Table." We had place cards for Aunt Thelma, Aunt Faye, Ma, Chuck, Mary, Uncle George, & Aunt Linda. They were our guests of honor.
We had new flour and Crisco this year, so the gravy was not a mess. Aunt JJ has had some bad Crisco in the past...not a good thing! We didn't even set the Marshmallows on fire this year! Luke and I ate on the front porch which was great. Uncle George and I compared our boots...we have something in common! Kyle & Katie sang us a few songs as well as Grover's daughter and boyfriend. It was really a lot of fun.
I love having Aunt JJ's house full of people. There are card games going, laughter, and of course food! We make memories every year. It's truly what Thanksgiving is all about.
