Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to All!  We had a change of plans for our Thanksgiving celebration this year.  Instead of a large family celebration, we shared the day with friends and my SIL and nephew.  But sometimes, friends can be family and its appropriate to share the holidays with them, too.  I am thankful for this couple as they have become great friends in such a short time.

We had an ambitious meal planned.  She did the turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole (from scratch, recipe here), pumpkin pie, and cranberry swirl cheesecake.  I made homemade rolls (recipe here), sweet potatoes, dressing and an apple pie. It was all very yummy.  I did a good job of not overeating, though I do think the dessert sample might have sent me over the top.....there really is not much room left to overeat!!

And to make you all happy, here is a picture of me at Thanksgiving.  It was roughly 70 degrees here in Atlanta and the hormones are definitely kicking in, so I went sleeveless. 

Hope you had a fantastic Thanksgiving and have received many blessings over the year for which you are thankful!

XOXO
