Happy Thanksgiving!

We stayed home for Thanksgiving. Our neice, Katie, is attending UCSD so we invited her to come spend Thanksgiving with us. We all love spending time with her. I made a big turkey dinner (turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and broccoli salad) and we all pigged out. I also made 3 pies...trouble. I made chocolate pecan, pumpkin and apple. I love baking pies so it was hard enough to just limit it to three!
I also made homeade cranberry sauce because I'm so picky about it. I don't like it really chunky but I don't like the jelly stuff you buy in the cans so I made up my own recipe. I did cheat a little buy buying bakery rolls, rather than making them from scratch.
Summer loved the turkey and broccoli.


What could be better than enjoying a yummy meal with the ones you love?

Ben loved the dark meat from the turkey but his very favorite was the chocolate pecan pie with tons of whipped cream!!
