So a few days before Thanksgiving Stephen asked me, "Mom, I know we are eating at Grandma's for Thanksgiving the day before, but can you still cook a BIG feast for us too because Mom I just LOVE the food you cook!!!"
Melted my heart- how could I say no?? I was already planning on it- but I went a little overboard. Way too much food for a small group. The problem is- making all the traditional stuff I always making plus trying some of the cool ideas I have been seeing on pinterest. It was yummy and exhausting and fun to cook with my girls, who was SO excited to be helping---but it was WAY TOO MUCH FOOD and I'm still paying for it and the baking I kept doing in December. It's the second week of January and I still have at least another week before I think I will be at my pre-Thanksgiving weight!
My parents came over with my Dad's Mom mid-day to watch football and eat with us again. The pumpkin cinnamon rolls I made for breakfast were the biggest hit of the day--everyone LOVED them!!!
These were fun- not quite as cute as the ones on pinterest but still cute!
David smoked a turkey- it might not look pretty but it was DELICIOUS!!!
This is supposed to look like turkey feathers,
but we didn't get it quite right and decided to just dig in.
Somehow I didn't get a picture on everyone together either day- I guess I was too busy cooking but the food and company was great!
