Thanksgiving 2011

We had Thanksgiving at our house this year. Last year was at Cindy's and the year before was at Doris'. Casey and Matt came over, Cindy and Jeffrey came (Hester - Cindy and Doris' mom, wasn't feeling well and Doris and Gregory went to South Carolina to visit friends), Celeste came with Karma, Nick and Rachel. So we ended up with 11 all total for dinner. It was so much fun to use all the Apple-ware and cook a really 22 pound turkey (which came out perfect). Joe made both gluten-free and regular stuffing and Shea made gluten-free pumpkin pie. Cindy brought apple pie and Celeste brought home-made (by Doris) cranberry sauce. Of course the left overs are great and Joe is making turkey noodle soup.

The living room set for 14 before we found out Hester, her boyfriend Lee and Nick's son Jacob were not going to join us.

Casey and Shea helping themselves.
