Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had Eric's brother, Kyle, and his wife, Jessica here for the weekend. We also had Eric's dad and step-mom for the day. It was fun to have company. We don't have relatives come too often.  We thoroughly enjoyed all the time we spent with them.  We were glad that Kyle and Jessica got to stay until Sunday for Alex's advancement and ordination to the teacher's quorum.

Tessa and Jarem ate in the kitchen due to lack of space.

Eric and I spent the morning cooking...it all turned out pretty good, I think.  I was glad that we didn't overcook the turkey this year.  Here's a look at our feast:

Turkey, potatoes and gravy, stuffing, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, corn, and a vegetable tray.  It was yummy!

The pies were pumpkin, cherry, pecan (made by Collette), and lemon meringue.  Eric was the pie-maker, and they all turned out great.

We enjoyed a relaxing afternoon of watching football, looking through Black Friday store ads, and visiting.  Before the night was over, Eric and I found ourselves in line at Toys R Us.  See next post. :)
