Proud of our Thanksgiving table set for 15.
Even our Orange Rolls turned out!
The day started out with John gettin' called in first thing this morning to do an Ultrasound in the operating room. Kind of a bumber, because he wasn't here to help. But hey, double pay!!! So me, Shannon, and Hannah sent the rest of the clan upstairs for the morning, then later outside for the afternoon. We spent the morning and early afternoon cooking, baking, mixing, etc. We had turkey, stuffing, yams, mashed potatoes & gravy, homemade cranberry sauce, homemade stuffing, orange rolls, beans, corn, cottage cheese jello salad, olives, spiced pumpkin mousse trifle, apple pie and ice cream. The girls put together cute little turkey cups with nuts and mints (a memory from my mom), and also corn rolls filled with little treats inside. Everything looked perfect, and the girl's were extremely happy with their results. The actual eating took about 30 min. Not much compared to the preparation, nor the clean-up after. But it all tasted wonderful. We were just happy to be altogether--or should I say thankful. After everyone sat around and we watched Rudolf the Red-Nose Reindeer. Sorry there aren't more pictures, the camera battery died.
