Thanksgiving

We were blessed to have a very full house for Thanksgiving- 18 people in all were here for Thanksgiving dinner.  Our home was full of people, laughter, love, and not to mention some amazing smells coming from the kitchen.  I feel so blessed to have the amazing Brenda Dear so close to our house- she so graciously let me use her oven to cook up the many casseroles and side dishes we had to accompany our 25lb turkey (prepared and cooked by Ed's step-dad, Jimmy), another 14lb turkey (prepared by myself), and a ham!  I must admit, we had WAY more food than what we probably needed, but there was the possibility  of more guests, and I didn't want to chance it by not having enough!  I didn't have to cook for another week after Thanksgiving.

We had a wonderful time, and my only regret is that I didn't take more pictures, or at least assign someone to take pictures.  Thank you to all who came and who helped out, and thank you for helping make our first Thanksgiving in our new home a success!  We hope to have many more family gatherings in the future.
