We had another wonderful Thanksgiving this year (although we missed Dave and Josi and their family) with Andy, Jamie, Jim, Mechele, and the Coy boys. We also had a neighbor (Duke) who was going to be alone for the day come over. Believe it or not, I had a fun time cooking... having paced myself quite well, there wasn't too much to do today at all. I made (with Brie's help) 2 pumpkin pies, a caramel apple pecan pie, and a blueberry crumb pie last night. I also peeled all the potatoes and had them cut and in water overnight. Our 23 lb. bird (Marvin) was in the oven by 9.
After our tummy's were full, we all stayed at the table and passed a basket filled with slips of paper stating what we were thankful for around the table to read and share with one another. It is a little tradition we started doing a few years ago.. it's always a nice way to remember what we are blessed with. Following that we cleaned up a little bit, the "younger one's" had a pillow fight in the living room, and then we watched Elf. A nice relaxing end to a special day.
Happy Thanksgiving to all....

Thanks again for having us over! We had so much fun. Good food, good family, good times. :)
What a good day! Way to be prepared and get to relax. I love the movie Elf, one of my personal favorites!
