We are happy to have had such a good day. I personally discovered (again) that I need to make pie more often. Crusts were never hard for me until I stopped making pie except for once a year. I am definitely out of practice. I planned on making 4 pies for our mini pie fest after dinner, but alas, I only got 2 done. And those were only done by a slim margin. Tawna helped make up for my less than manic skills and made an Apple and a Pumpkin pie to bring. I ended up with a Lemon and a Coconut Cream. Gramma Dorothy brought her famous Pecan. Someone made a delicious Strawberry dessert too. None of us went away without dessert overload.
Tawna roasted our 20 + pound turkey and made the dressing. Jade did the mashed potatoes and got us all set up and ready to sit down and eat, plus all the last minute things Hostesses end up doing for everyone. She also got the rolls in to bake and the carrots and corn on to cook. Jeff's sister, Christy brought the famous green bean casserole. Gramma H. brought Grumpy's favorite jello salad, sweet potatoes, the pecan pie, some coleslaw (just for me because I love her coleslaw so much) and maybe some cranberry sauce. We all succumbed to dinner overload and wanted to sleep the rest of the day. It was fun to visit and catch up with family we don't see often. I love Thanksgiving.

Nathan was our Turkey Carver and did an excellent job.
Our mini pie fest for our desserts this year. They were all awesome.
My sincere thanks to Grumpy (and his helpers) for all the table loading and unloading, same for chairs and the hauling of such items wherever they were needed. He is always there for me and helps me so much. What a guy!
