We had a beautiful Thanksgiving Day. I'm so happy my family was willing to make the drive to our house this year. We played for a few hours before lunch. Emily and Lydia played on the new swing set while the others chatted and watched football. I wanted to eat at 2 and "planned" accordingly. I had NO idea the gravy would take so long (I used some fancy Bon Apetite recipe that was really good but not worth the work). Good thing mom was there to help me make the gravy! We ate at 2:45...that's not too bad! The food was hot and delicious. In addition to my turkey, gravy, and apple sausage stuffing, Cate made mashed potatoes, Brian made sweet potatoes (AMAZING), Lauren made a cold, sweet cranberry side (borderline dessert), Steph made green beans, mom made rolls and pies, and dad brought the wine. Dan "made" canned cranberry! We introduced Cate and dad to the wii. Mom and dad were the last to leave (Dad was getting hooked on the wii). Here are a few pictures from our day.
