Thanksgiving Day 2010

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving this year, even with it being just one week before the baby is born!  Josie, Justin and the kids came up and we ate & ate & ate all day long.  We did miss Sara, Jamie and the kids though-next year you'll be back for sure!  All of the kids had a great time and didn't fight once.  Such a nice experience.  Merrill and Justin took the kids to the park and played football while Josie and I finished cooking.  The menu consisted of a delicious juicy turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, cranberry sauce and homemade rolls.  Josie was dying that I made everything from scratch 39 weeks pregnant.  I must really be nesting (I even made another batch of rolls the next day).
It's just not a holiday in our house without homemade rolls!

The meat was literally falling off the bones.  I give all of the credit to the Reynold roasting bag.  I swear by them.

The motley crew pounding down some dinner

Don't get me Maddie!!  Poor baby Macy.  Maddie just loved her all day long.

Jackson finally tuckered out.  We were both pretty exhausted at the end of the day!

Funny how you say "we" made dinner. I'm pretty sure you did it all. And it was FABULOUS. Thanks again for such a fun day.
