Be Thankful 2011



This year we had a super duper fun Thanksgiving hosted by Yours Truly! It was my first time to host the event at my house for family and I must say I thought it went quite smoothly. But it was probably due to the fact that we had a "rehearsal" Thanksgiving dinner last Thursday night for our fab Life Group. My main squeeze got lots of practice frying turkeys after making a grand total of 4 this year alone. (He made 2 last week for our Life Group, then one for our BFFs and one for our celebration on Thanksgiving day.) I made my favorite veggie casserole, Jeff's favorite pecan pie, a "turkey" veggie tray (in the picture above) and a few other simple appetizers. My mom made a tasty sweet potato casserole, 7 layer salad and a cranberry/apple dish. It was all quite delish!  
Some of our Thanksgiving decor
H-bomb's contribution to the decor. Oh and her version of "Gobble, Gobble" is too cute!
More decor - that little Pilgrim has been in our family for years! It was on my grandmother's table every Thanksgiving for as long as I can remember! He has two friends that are in the kitchen.

to dig in!
