Thanksgiving Dinner
Tonight we had our friend Thanksgiving dinner. It has gotten smaller over the years, but it was very cozy. I had the table set by about noon this morning, since it was easy. Its nice to be able to use our china that Andy wanted. It makes me feel so grown up to use too.
People were over by about 5. Coolest thing ever, the girls and I sat in the living room talking while the men were in the kitchen cooking. We liked how that turned out! Now if only I could have gotten away from doing the dishes. But here is what the meal turned out to look like:
We had brown and serve rolls (my favorite, although I only had two this year) Turkey, Green Bean Casserole (brought by my best friend) mashed potatoes, grilled squash and zucchini, and canned cranberry sauce (can’s the only way for me!) We ended with pumpkin and cranberry pecan pie. Let me just tell you, I think I gained 5 pounds, but it was worth spending time with our friends and being thankful. Plus we have a bunch of leftovers!
