Thanksgiving with a vengence

Thanksgiving day was BEAUTIFUL here! (as you see in the first photo) Must have gotten up nearly to 70. We got up late and piddled around doing the last of the food preparation. Mom cooked a turkey and I helped by making the Little Smokies wrapped in crescent dough. We ate over at Rich and Joannes. That's David's hand getting into the turkey before we're ready to eat. ("Don't you touch that turkey, it has a hour left to cook. You'll get worms!")

;;;;;;;;


Joanne did her usual great job of putting on wonderful table settings, which were mostly comprised of items from her Mom's dinner ware. This is a before and after shot of the "adults" table.

Steve was there of course (and brought a pork loin roast to supplement the feast), along with James and Sabrina (who brought one of her YW from her ward who had no wehere else to go I suppose - I never did get the whole story on that) and you see the missionaries too. The photo on the right is of the "children's" table.

;;;;;;;;


We played horse shoes in the back on Rich's newly installed horseshoe pit, and ate pies. Didn't I mention the pies? Pumpkin, French Apple, Chocolate Pecan. Umm, umm. GOOD!

In the interest of accuracy, I have to correct your litany of pies: Actually, it was a Dutch Apple pie, and the Pecan pies weren't really chocolate, but just had chocolate chips in them - which is even better in my opinion. For more complete and balanced reporting of this premier event, see Rich & Joanne's blog. Unfortunately, we aren't as fast as Uncle Peter, but we're worth the wait! And it was great to have all the company here for dinner.
