Thanksgiving

A few year's ago Rich and I started the tradition of staying home for Thanksgiving. We enjoy have a quiet and relaxing day without having to travel. We usually stay up late and then sleep in. This year I made a coffee cake for breakfast and then we enjoyed a late lunner (lunch-dinner). We had some friends over for food and then we all went to our other friends for pie.

We had our traditional feast: chicken, stuffing in the bird, spaghetti with meatballs, can shaped cranberry sauce, rolls, and mashed potatoes. We did add sauteed green beans with bacon and hazelnuts for a change. One of our friends brought jello and some snacks.

We made Ava her own plate and let her at it...well just for the picture. She grab the mashed potatoes and started playing with them and when she went for the spaghetti I decided it would be less messy if I helped her. She enjoyed the bread and stuffing the most.

"Who are you calling a turkey?"
