Thanksgiving 2010

This was the first year we had thanksgiving without Grandma at home :(. So it was up to me to throw our shindig together. At first it was just going to be Justin, Logan and I, but as the weeks drew closer we had just about all our family rsvp! Justin's mom Susan came and made her famous sweet potatoes (and I got to see her make them this time so I now know how), Ken (Justin's brother) and his dad Ted; Nicole and Evan brought their daughters Kelsey and Brooklyn. Nicole even made spicy sausage stuffing like our Grandma Nutt used to make. By request I made pumpkin chiffon pie, to be honest I'd never really cared for pumpkin pie, but I am now converted to the chiffon style...yum! 

Originally we were only going to have ham, but remember how I said that we were getting more guests as the weeks went by, well we got the ham in the mail on Wed. (that's right folks, online ordering) and it looked so tiny!! Looking back it was for sure enough but Justin went to the store to buy a small turkey just the same. So lets add it all up: Nicole made stuffing, Susan made sweet potatoes, that leaves me with: Mashed potatoes, green beans, pumpkin chiffon pie, gravy, cranberry sauce, rolls (store bought thankfully) and the infamous Turkey. Guess what, everything came out great! I am so surprised to be honest. Couldn't have done it without my helpers though.

Happy Thanksgiving!
