Thanksgiving 2011

I can't believe another Thanksgiving has come and gone. It seems like just yesterday we were in Mexico inviting the missionaries over for Thanksgiving dinner in the evening, because it was just a regular day for everyone else in Mexico, pretending that nopales (cactus) were green beans, and missing our family.

This year was very low-key. We made several attempts to lure some company over for dinner, and were not successful. (Apparently they hadn't heard about our one pie per person rule) Lucky for us, the Harpers stayed in town and we had a great day with them.

Apparently, I haven't adjusted to cooking for less than a crowd, because we ended up with a 20 lb turkey, tons of stuffing (best ever recipe from Emeril) dad's potatoes, rolls, and five pies (actually exceeded our one pie per person rule.) The Harpers are going to be eating a lot of leftovers this week.
We're so grateful for family, church, employment, friends, and good health. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

We all look like we are on drugs in that first picture. Flattering.

But thanks for the food and the fun! I forgot to take home any cranberry salad so make sure you save some for me. And I think Violet and I will pick up more pie soon!

Ryan will get the leftover apple pie. The chocolate pie is gone. The cream pies and maybe the berry pie will still be her on Monday...
