As a tradition, both of our parents come out to see us for Thanksgiving! We love it so much and really enjoy cooking and serving up a big feast! This year, Sandra made the dressing and salad and Julie & Clayton made the mashed potatoes and cheesecake, so it made our job a lot easier! We had a great time eating and visiting all weekend long. They all left his morning, which we were sad to see them go, but can't wait to see everyone in a few weeks for Christmas! Here are a few pictures of our weekend!
Mom, Me & Sandra
Lex and Fred carving the turkey! Check out my homemade pecan pie (thanks to Paula Deen)!
The spread...rolls, cranberry salad, dressing & gravy, sweet potato casserole, green beans, mashed potatoes, salad, ham & of course - fried turkey!
Mom and Sandra! Notice the beautiful flowers that Lindsay sent us from Singapore! Thanks Lindsay - wish you and Greg could have been here too!
Julie and Clayton got to join us again this year too! We are glad that were able to come over and as you can tell - can't wait to meet their new little one in January!
The desserts - Gingerbread Pumpkin Triffle (also a Paula Deen recipe), Cheesecake ( by Julie), Dogfood (by Mom - peanut butter, chocolate and powder sugar chex mix- yum) and a pecan pie!
Me, cooking up a few things in the kitchen!
The boys frying the turkey on the back porch!
The table all set and ready to go!
Friday morning we went to breakfast and then took the boat out and gave everyone a ride! It actually turned out to be a nice day, but once the boat got going, it was a little chilly!
Mom - getting a nice cold breeze on the boat!
We also got to put up the tree on Friday with everyone! Now the house is ready for Christmas! Here are Dad and Sandra this morning before everyone left.
Ginobili - not enjoying the photo shoot this year with his reindeer ears! :o) What a cutie pie though!
