Thanksgiving Day had arrived! With one oven and a lot of people and a lot of food, there was a lot of coordination and planning that needed to happen to make the meal come together. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't a little anxious, but it all came together beautifully!
There was quite a bit of time in the morning in between preparations that was spent playing dolls and reading books.
Evette was in heaven. With so many grown ups in the house there was always someone available to read to her! If one was busy she'd just take her books and find the next literate adult.
Everyone was great pitched in with their various dishes of the meal:
Yes, that turkey is covered in bacon, and yes, it was delicious.
The whole group!!So much cooking that was so so so good!
Cleaning the turkey after the feast!
And then a big fat turkey coma.....
followed by decorating the Christmas Tree!!!!! Hooray!
And charades - which is so fun to watch Evette get into!
And then we had pie for dinner, 'cause that's what you do during Thanksgiving!
A little bit of all 3, why the heck not?
And then bedtime stories and bedtime.
A big successful day with my favorite things - Family, Food, and Christmas. Yup.
