Turkey Day 2011

Amazingly enough, we decided to do a whole Thanksgiving meal this year (the early arrival of Charlotte made us think it was not going to happen). They boys got all dressed up with the appropriate bibs.
 They were do excited for Turkey.
 We tried to keep it simple, and made Turkey, dressing (which was absolutely fabulous, John), mashed potatoes and rolls (brought by Jane), Yams (of course, I would almost rather have yams than turkey) and then Jane brought pies for dessert. I was a little bummed at not being able to make a pie this year (let alone the regular six that I think I usually make!) But we needed to simplify and making pie didn't fit the bill.
 John's uncle Jim came over for a visit and got to enjoy all the food with us! We made so much food, but really, is there a way to make a small thanksgiving feast?
 Charlotte took a snooze while we ate.
 And that Turkey hit Lincoln hard! He didn't even get to finish his plate before he passed out!
We had a fabulous day with family. Hope you enjoyed your day of thanks! We are so immensely blessed in our lives. I love this time of year where we can focus on our family and celebrate the season.
