Thanksgivng Recap 2010

We had a great Thanksgiving! We always meet up with my grandma's side of the family for our Thanksgiving dinner.  We see lots of cousins that we only see once or twice a year, so it is always fun to catch up. This year our numbers were down a bit because some had other places to go. The grand total for turkeys was three, plus two huge kettles of mashed potatoes, a variety of veggies and sides and more pies than I could count! I took a green bean bundles(that were unbundled from here. I did it in the crockpot and instead of bundling, I just layered they ingredients and let it cook all morning. I thought that way would be more practical for a large crowd. They are so good and were a hit this Thanksgiving.

Logan and Madison had fun playing. I took some of the Thomas the Train track that I have at my house and that kept Logan occupied for a long time. Madison showed off her walking skills by working the room and mingling (or grabbing a stray bite of food from someone).  It was so nice to get home on Thanksgiving evening and put on my warm pj's and enjoy my Christmas tree. I did not head out for the Black Friday sales, in fact my shopping is almost complete. I am one of those year round shoppers, who picks things up along the way.

I hope everyone had a great holiday, spent with those near and dear to their hearts.

Is there any good food up there?

Madison decided she had better make out her Christmas list too!
