I started in the kitchen at 8:00 a.m. and pretty much cooked non-stop until 4:00 p.m. I loved it! Cooking all day when I have nothing else to do is great.
The kids enjoyed a quiet morning playing together. Having our whole family at home makes us all so happy!
They even ventured out into the rain, where Davis was building a fire in the backyard.
Henry got tired of the noise in the house and slept on the grass next to Daddy when the rain let up for a little while. He took one of the longest, deepest naps of his life out there. He is his father's son!
My dad, step-mom and half-brother came over and watched football and kept me company and played with the girls. And then... the feast!
I can't believe I forgot to take a picture of the turkey - it was gorgeous and HUGE! 18 lbs! Davis gets really mad if we don't have lots of leftover turkey, so I played it safe!
I'm the only one who likes pumpkin pie (how crazy is that?!) so I got my own little pie, while everyone else had chocolate pie.
By 8:00 p.m. every single person - young and old - was asleep!

Looks like you had a lovely Thanksgiving! I'm so glad. I love to cook big meals and have others come and share them with us too. Love to be in my own home cooking up a feast of goodies for the people I love...celebrating our own way. Makes me feel warm and full and....thankful.
Love to you...
(And, I especially loved the menu and name cards....wonderful touch!)
