Yesterday we had an early Thanksgiving dinner. It is an "off" year for our family, and so the married couples will be having Thanksgiving dinner with the other side of their families.
We decided to have our dinner the Sunday before Thanksgiving.
It was nice because Alyssia was able to make it. We haven't had a full family picture for six years, so it was nice we could yesterday. We all enjoyed eating good food and visiting.
Rick and I were in charge of the turkey, potatoes and gravy, cranberries, raspberry jello, pomegranate salad, rolls and three pies... two pumpkin and one cream cheese.
Kendra brought candied yams and a chocolate pie and a banana cream pie.
Sarah brought homemade stuffing, green bean casserole, and a buttermilk pie.
It was a lot of food and a LOT of work.
After dinner the kids had a turkey hunt (finding the hidden turkeys throughout the house), then we watched a few of the kids do a dance routine, and then we played two rounds of the name game. The kids love that one...I do too. Haha!
Anyway, it was a great night and we all enjoyed one another's company!
Happy Thanksgiving!
