Thanksgiving Photo Montage

Turkey #1.Turkey #2.
Setting the table. (I couldn't remember what I'd done with my tablecloth).
The cranberry-orange relish.
The sweet potato casserole (my favorite).
The giblet gravy.
The green bean casserole (only slightly Cajuned).
The cornbread dressing (Brad's favorite).
The cranberry/sausage/apple stuffing (a new dish this year).
The bird.
The man carving the bird (with his fancy electric knife).

Finally, the eating! Gilbert too busy for all these damn pictures.
Tuan was game to pose.
Johnny always happy for turkey.
Mom loves a meal she doesn't have to prepare herself.
Brad ("just let me eat my dinner already, woman!)
And, me, finally getting to sit down and rest.
Then came desserts...the pecan pie that Tuan brought and the pumpkin cheesecake I made. (With crushed golden oreo crust, yummy)
And - of course - the whipped cream...the "gravy of dessert."
How do you relax after a long day of entertaining the fam?
They're taking after their uncles already.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
You can see I have a lot to be thankful for...everyday.
