Turkey Day

We had a very traditional Thanksgiving celebration this year. Just the family. I made turkey and all the trimmings (including cranberries in the shape of a can - kids' request). Mom made the gravy. Desserts abounded: pumpkin pie with whip cream from a can (another special request), pecan pie, apple pie, cheese cake and carrot cake. Who needs dinner?

Our special treat was that Cubby is now old enough to say the blessing... God is good, God is great..... It was cherubic and absolutely precious.


Ian and Liz (and mashed potatoes). They had driven in Thursday morning from Liz' parents in Midland. After dinner, Liz went to get some shut-eye so she could get up and make the Black Friday specials at Tangier Outlets with her mom and sis. Midnight at the outlet mall. Wonder how that went?

Gennie says she's getting too old for all of this commotion. She did get a little bowl of vanilla ice cream for dessert. Afterall, we're very thankful for the most wonderful dog in the world.

Note to self:  remember to recharge the camera battery before the next holiday.

I'm really beginning to believe that only the young can think about shopping early on Black Friday! ...so many desserts? I can picture Cubby saying grace --- what a treat!
