Happy Thanksgiving

We had a fantastic Thanksgiving this year
We started the night before by making pies. I had lots of help from Courtney and Tenley
I think they turned out really good! We had Pecan, Pumpkin, Sugar-Free Apple, Banana Cream, and Cherry Cream...YUM! Before we knew it, it was the next morning and time to get our turkey in. Nathan looks exhausted but I'm still getting a thumbs up, it is his favorite meal of the year!
5 hours in and our turkey is so juicy it overflowed and the kitchen was full of smoke. Had to ladle some out so the turkey could finish!
And the finished product!
Nathan carving our turkey
The kids were starving! I was getting pouty faces while they waited
Once the go ahead was given, the kitchen filled up quick with hungry diners!
And then it was QUIET! Everyone was too busy enjoying their dinner to talk
Somehow the kids ended up at the big table
The adults ended up at the card tables
Once dinner was done, here is where the boys ended up
I hope you had a fantastic holiday like we did!

That turkey looks so good! Can you believe I didn't have any turkey this year. Next year, I'm coming over! Looks like a great Thanksgiving!
